Changing GP practice
Changing GP practice in East Suffolk 2026
Changing GP practice in England is free, and you do not have to tell your current practice: it is told once your new practice has registered you. Here are the 24 GP practices in East Suffolk, highest Practice Grade first, each with a link to its page on the NHS website, where it says how to register.
How to change, in three steps
- Compare the options. The list below orders the practices by the Practice Grade: what patients say in the 2026 GP Patient Survey together with how soon appointments take place and calls are answered. Want to weigh what matters most to you? Use Help me choose.
- Register online, in the NHS App or on paper. The link on each card goes to the practice’s page on the NHS website. Most practices let you register online; you can also fill in a paper form at the practice.
- Wait to hear back. You should be told when you have been registered, usually within 5 days of the practice getting your details.
A practice may refuse to register you if it is not accepting new patients, if you live outside its area, or if you have been removed from its list before; it must then write to you within 14 days. The whole process, step by step, is in the guide How to change your GP practice.

Good to know before you change
- You can register outside East Suffolk, for example near where you work, but not every practice accepts patients from outside its area, and it may affect home visits and community services. See all areas on GP practices by area.
- Away for a while? You can register with a practice as a temporary patient for up to 3 months without changing practice.
- If you have problems registering, the NHS website suggests contacting your local integrated care board, Citizens Advice or your local Healthwatch.
- We order by the Practice Grade. The grade weighs patients’ answers and access, and a practice gets one only with enough answers; each practice page shows how many answered.
