Cambridge Access Surgery

How to register

We have an open list and welcome requests for registration from patients who are homeless, or in sheltered or temporary accommodation in Cambridge.

You can register by:

  • completing a form available from reception

We recommend that new patients undertake a health check with a practice nurse and an initial new patient consultation with a GP.

If you move outside the practice area you may need to find a doctor in your new area.

Temporary patients

If you are not registered with the surgery you will be unable to see one of our doctors unless you have a serious emergency. In most other cases, calling 111 is a better option.

If you are not registered but need treatment at the surgery you will need to complete a temporary registration form.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This means you can be registered with our practice and remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with our practice.
