How to register

Our list is currently open and we are accepting registrations from students and non - students 

You can now register fully using the electronic registration form here

Alternatively, you can come into the Practice and complete the forms or request downloadable forms to be emailed to you via our secure contact us form. This is a simple process and takes a short time only, and once registered you are immediately able to use our services.

Important note for students

If you have been registered with us previously, for example last term, and haven't registered with another doctor between now and then, for example your home doctor, then you will still be registered with us and don't need to register again, but you do need to inform us of your new address.

Ways to Register

• ONLINE: Via our secure online registration form
• TELEPHONE: You can telephone and request a Registration Pack. Telephone 01274 371380 Monday to Friday between 10:00 and 17:00 and ask for a Registration Pack to be posted to you, which you can complete and post back to us, or drop into Reception.
• EMAIL: Send us an e-mail to request a Registration Pack, which you can complete and post back to us, or drop into Reception. Send an e-mail via our secure online form stating your full name and postal address including postcode.  Please add 'registration pack' in the subject line.

Temporary Registration

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.

Partners in Care

Once registered, patients and healthcare professionals work together to ensure the most appropriate care is provided. This partnership philosophy extends even further and our active patient group exists to make sure that patient needs and the practice offering are always heading in the same direction.

If you need to be seen by a GP during vacation and are returning home, please remember to only register as a Temporary Patient with your home GP. This way we will still have your registered here when you return for the new semester. 

You can also still request repeat medication over the phone or online and we will send your prescription electronically to a local pharmacy. 

Missed Appointments

We take missed appointments at bradford student health service very seriously as we have in excess of 200 per month, which is lot of wasted Doctor, Nurse & Phlebotomist’s time.

By not phoning in and cancelling unwanted appointments we are not able to offer these appointments to another patient to use.

Please always ensure you cancel your appointment in good time if you know you cannot attend – tel 01274 371380

Policy for Missed Appointments

Due to the large amount of wasted doctor, nurse and phlebotomist time that missed appointments cause, we regret that we must take the following action against those patients who abuse our service:

If a patient fails to attend three appointments in any 12 month period without letting us know, they will receive a warning letter.  If any more appointments are missed the patient will receive a further letter informing them that the doctors are considering whether they should be  removed from the practice list.  They may then have to register with another practice.
