NHS England guidance for Service parents - registering a child with an NHS GP and use of the NHS app
Registering a child with an NHS GP and use of the NHS APP
Registration
There are safeguarding aspects to registering children without a parent, but it is not a reason for refusal.
Ideally, an adult with parental responsibility should normally be registered at the practice with the child where the ID of the adult can be matched to the child’s birth certificate details.
However, one of the exemptions to this is where both parents serve in the armed forces and are registered with an armed forces GP.
Further information is available in the Primary Medical Services Policy and Guidance Manual Part B Chapter 4.12 – Registering Children.
In all cases (adult and children), a GP practice may only refuse to register individuals where it has reasonable grounds for doing so. Reasonable grounds may include, in the case of an application for permanent registration, that the patient does not live, or does not intend to live in, the contractor’s practice area or the outer boundary area. A GP surgery can also refuse to register a new patient because their practice is not taking on any new patients.
The ICB can also assign a new patient to a practice whose list is open.

A reminder of the help available from the Forces Employment Charity
.jpg)
The Forces Employment Charity exists to provide life-long, life-changing support, job opportunities, and training to Service leavers, veterans, reservists and their families, irrespective of circumstances, rank, length of service, or reason for leaving.
Their Families Programme supports spouses and partners of still-serving personnel and veterans, including divorced, separated, and bereaved, on their journey into employment; regardless of whether you are in the UK or overseas. They understand Service life and transition can impact the whole family, so they also offer mentoring and career guidance to military children and young people aged 16-24.
Their dedicated Families Employment Advisors are military spouses or partners themselves. They understand the challenges and barriers you may be facing including frequent moves, living in relative isolation, childcare, employer reluctance to hire military spouses, getting back onto the employment ladder, having a lack of confidence and returning suddenly to civilian life. They understand the support you require and are here to help you succeed. Register for this free service!
