How to Register

How to register at Bridge Street Medical Centre:

We accept all Cambridge residents including students into the practice. If you are eligible for NHS care this is free at the point of access. If you are not eligible for NHS care or if you require a service that is not funded by the NHS, there will be a fee. Please see the non-NHS fees section.

If you are ordinarily resident in the UK and are already registered with the NHS:

If you live within the practice area we would be happy to accept you as a patient in our surgery.

What you need:

• bring in your NHS card or, if you do not have this, fill in a NHS registration form.

• complete a practice registration form.

Once this is done, you will be registered with the practice, rather than with a particular GP. You do, however, have complete choice regarding which GP you see, when visiting the surgery. You need to be registered before you can see a GP and this can take up to 24hrs once the forms are completed.

If you are registering a child we ask that the mother of the child is a current patient or is registering at the same time. Please bring in the relevant documentation for a new born baby.

Temporary patients: If you are a visitor to the area, already registered as an NHS patient and staying within our practice area, we can see you as a temporary patient.

If you are a visitor from Overseas or have never been registered with the NHS:

• Please refer to our Overseas section on the non-NHS fees page to find out if you are eligible for NHS care. Our reception team will also be happy to advise you.

• If you are not eligible for NHS care or if you require a service that is not funded by the NHS, there will be a fee. Please see the non-NHS fees page. Our reception team will also be happy to advise you.
