How to register with the practice
If you live within our practice area (please see the map below) you are welcome to register with us.
We are using a new online service called "Register with a GP Surgery".
Just fill in this quick online form to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.
The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It cuts our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.
The online service is only for permanent registrations. If you are wanting to register as a temporary resident, please see the information and form further down on this page.
To register online:
For St Austell Register with a GP Surgery (gp-registration.nhs.uk)
For Mevagissey Register with a GP Surgery (gp-registration.nhs.uk)
Paper forms are still available if you need one, and are available at any of our sites.
You will receive a text message to confirm that your registration has been processed. If you need medical help, please let the receptionist know when you register.
St Austell Catchment area
Mevagissey Surgery Catchment area
You will have a named/usual GP who is responsible for your overall care. You will also have a preferred site (Foxhole, Mevagissey, Park or Wheal Northey). If you would like to know who your usual GP is, please ask reception. If at any time you wish to change your usual GP or preferred site, please let us know. Having a usual GP does not restrict your ability to see any GP in the practice.
Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Your care will move to St Austell Healthcare at the time of completing your registration form.
When patients register with our practice we offer a new patient health check with one of our Healthcare Assistants who will check your weight, height, blood pressure, medical history and carry out any blood tests as necessary. If you would like a “New Patient Check” please arrange this with one of our receptionists.
We recommend that you download the NHS App. You can order repeat prescriptions and view test results online. You can nominate a pharmacy and we will send your prescriptions electronically to the pharmacy.
