Register with our practice
We use a secure NHS service called Register with a GP Surgery to make registering with Parkwood Surgery quick and straightforward.
To start the process, please complete the online registration form, which usually takes around 10 minutes to complete.
You do not need to provide proof of address, identification, immigration status, or an NHS number. This service is designed and run by the NHS, and your personal information will be handled securely.
Using the online form helps reduce administrative delays and allows us to process registrations more efficiently.
If you are unable to complete the online form, paper registration forms are available from reception.
*Please note that registration requests are reviewed by the practice and acceptance is subject to practice criteria.

Catchment Area (Practice Boundary)
Our practice boundary is shown on the map below. If you are unsure whether your address falls within our catchment area, please contact the surgery before submitting a registration request. Please note that registration requests are reviewed individually and acceptance is subject to practice criteria.Proxy Access to Online Services
Proxy access allows someone to access a patient’s online services (such are the NHS App or online records) on their behalf.
This is commonly used for:
- Parents or guardians managing a child’s care
- Carers supporting someone who cannot manage online services independently
Who can have proxy access
- Children under 16: A parent or person with parental responsibility may request proxy access
- Patients aged 16 and over: Proxy access can only be granted with the patient’s written consent, unless they lack capacity to consent
What we may need to check
Before setting up proxy access, the practice may need to confirm:
- proof of identity for both the patient and the person requesting access (for example, photo ID)
- Evidence of parental responsibility where applicable (such as a birth certificate)
- Whether anyone else shares parental responsibility
- Any safeguarding concerns
- That the child understands and agrees to the access (usually from age 11 onwards), or lacks capacity to consent
You do not need to live at same address as the patient to have proxy access.
A patient may have more than one proxy, and a proxy may action of the behalf of more than one patient.
Important information
- Both the patient and the proxy must be registered at Parkwood Surgery
- Proxy access is reviewed regularly and may be adjusted or removed if circumstances change
- Access may be limited depending on the patient’s age, capacity, and safeguarding concerns
If you would like to request proxy access, please contact reception for further guidance.
