We accept patients across Birmingham.

If you live outside Alum Rock, you’ll register as an out-of-area patient.

Important (please read before registering):

• You can still access our same day online appointment system
• Out-of-area patients cannot receive home visits from the practice
• You must be able to travel to the surgery for any face-to-face appointments
• Not recommended if you are housebound or have significant mobility issues

Have these details ready:

• Your current address and contact details
• Your previous GP details
• Your NHS number (if you know it)

You shouldn’t have to queue, keep calling at 8am, or wait weeks without knowing what’s happening next. With Alum Rock Medical Centre, you can:

• Request help without repeatedly calling the practice
• Get clear next steps by message
• Use phone, video or in-person appointments when appropriate

Do I have to leave my old GP?

• Yes. Registering with us transfers your NHS GP care to Alum Rock Medical Centre. You can switch again in future if you wish.

I live outside Alum Rock — can I still register?

  • No home visits are available for out-of-area patients, and you must be able to travel to the surgery for face-to-face appointments. It is not recommended to register if you are housebound or have significant mobility issues.
