We are currently registering new patients.
If you wish to register with us, please complete a registration form which can be found below.
Both the registration form and health questionnaire can be found below.
If you are taking any prescribed medication, it is important that you make an appointment with the doctor, before this medication is due. Do not wait untill you run out!
BCP Catchment Area
The Image to the left is Bolton Community Practice's Catchment area, any patients outside of this area will not be registered.
Temporary Patient 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, 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.
Non-English Speakers
These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.
Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
Open the leaflets in one of the following languages:
Disabled Patient Facilities
All our sites have wheelchair access, but Market Surgery has two upstairs consulting rooms, which are not suitable for all patients. Please be aware of this when making your appointment.
