REGISTER NEWBORNS
Parents of newborns, you can now register your baby with your GP without registering the Baby’s birth with the Registrar.
It is important to register newborn babies with a GP as soon as possible, so they don’t miss out on vital health services such as the 6-8-week check and immunisation programme.
You do not currently need a birth certificate to register your baby with the GP Practice
