Registration with the Practice

Coggeshall Surgery is now accepting new registrations in the immediate Coggeshall area.

Patients are registered with the practice and not a specific doctor, however, you will be assigned a GP accountable for your care.  You are requested to state a preferred doctor when registering and wherever possible we will try to make appointments with her. This helps the doctor to get to know you and provide continuity of care.

To register you will need to fill in a registration form called a GMS1 Form, please see the link below:
