Register With The Practice
Non-urgent advice: New Patient Registration
Our inner registration area covers Hampton, Hempsted and also the region of Woodston which is bounded by the River Nene to the north, London Road (A15) to the east and the Nene Parkway to the west.
We can only register people living inside this area, and if you do move away from Hampton we will ask that you register with a practice in your new area, unless you will still be living within our outer boundary area covering parts of Orton Malborne and Orton Longueville.
Check if you live within our boundary using the map.
Our facilities include access for wheelchair users and a toilet for disabled people. All services are on the same level.
PLEASE NOTE
We do accept applications from Haddon and Great Haddon.

Non-urgent advice: How to Register
If you would like to use the medical services at Hampton Medical Centre please register your whole household with the practice. It does speed up the registration process if you can proivide your NHS Number previous or current address.
Please allow between 3 and 5 working days for us to process your registration.
All patients registered at the practice are registered to a pooled list of GPs. The GPs at the practice do not hold personal lists of patients.
Patients have the right to express a preference of practitioner for appointments to the reception team; however we cannot guarantee an appointment with a doctor within 48 hours or a nurse within 24 hours if you chose to specify a particular clinician.
Once your application has ben received we will contact you to inform you of this and reqiest you provide a recent blood pressure reasing.
Non-urgent advice: Additional Information
Protecting Patients
We ask you for information so that you can receive proper care and treatment. The information you give us and your medical records will be kept on computer. You have a right of access to your health records. Everyone working for the NHS has a legal duty to keep information about you confidential. If at any time you would like to know more about how we use your information you can speak to the person in charge of your care or to the Practice Manager.
Communication
If you have any communication or support needs relating to a disability, impairment or sensory loss please let us know when you register and give us more information to guide us in how we can best meet your needs. This might include what is the best method of contact for you or whether you would need support in communications with the Practice.
The obligations that the NHS has, together with the rights that every individual enjoys, are set out in the Data Protection Act 1998.
Named GP
All Patients will be allocated with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to them.
This does not prevent you from seeing any GP in the practice as you currently do. New patients are allocated a GP on registration If you would like to know who is your allocated GP please ask at reception.
Non-urgent advice: Temporary Registrations
If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.
You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.
To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
