All new patients are invited to make an appointment to have a health check with our practice nurse.
Register With Us
Everyone is welcome at Small Heath Medical Practice. You do not need to provide proof of ID, address, immigration status or an NHS number in order to receive care or see a GP.
To register with us, please check you live within our catchment area; you can do this using the map below.
Once you have ensured you live within our boundary, please complete the online ‘New Patient Registration’ form.
- It takes around 15 minutes to complete, and you need to complete the process in one session.
- Please be advised it can take up to 5 working days to be registered once you have submitted the form.
If you are having difficulty completing this online, please visit the surgery, where the reception team can provide you with a paper copy of the form to fill out and return.
If you need assistance, a team member will be happy to help.
- We recognise that our patients have varying accessibility needs and are committed to delivering a high level of service to our entire community.
- Please note that, as part of our efforts to address health inequalities within different parts of our community, we request some personal information regarding your protected characteristics to better understand our patient population.

Temporary Patient Registrations
You can register temporarily with a GP surgery while away from home for work, study or on holiday. You’ll remain registered with your permanent GP surgery.
Registering with a GP as a temporary resident – NHS – NHS (www.nhs.uk)
Details of any treatment you have will be passed to your permanent GP surgery. They will add the information to your medical records.
Overseas Visitors
Those who visit the UK from overseas must pay for their care when they are in England.
In 2015 changes were made to how the NHS charges overseas visitors for healthcare so the NHS does not lose out on income for the services these patients have received.
Find Your NHS Number
Sometimes when filling in online forms or speaking with our staff, you may be asked for your NHS number.
This online tool will help you find your number if you do not know it.
Please Note
You do not need to know your NHS number to use NHS services, but it can be useful to have it.
Other ways to get your NHS number
If you cannot get your NHS number online you can:
- find it on any letter from the NHS like a prescription or appointment letter
- call your GP surgery and ask them for your number
