Register with us as a New Patient

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

If you live within the E4 and IG8 areas (and pay your council tax to the London Borough of Waltham Forest) we would be happy to register you with our practice.  Eligibility can be quickly confirmed from your address, so please provide proof by way of a recent utility bill.  We also require one form of photographic ID. Our reception staff will be happy to guide you through the procedure.

Practice catchment area

We register all patients living in the E4 area with the exception of those seen by clicking the link below. There are also a number of IG8 postcodes close to the Practice from which we are able to accept registrations - details are shown at the link below.

Registration

In deciding whether or not to accept a patient, the practice will not discriminate on grounds of disability or medical condition, age, appearance, race, gender, social class, religion or sexual orientation. If an application is refused the applicant will be given the reason for refusal in writing.

You will need to complete our online registration form which will provide useful information whilst we wait for your medical records to arrive from your previous doctor. You can also come into the practice to register.

For Under16s please complete this online form

All new patients are offered a health check with a member of the healthcare team to ensure that any required tests are up to date and that we have an accurate note of any repeat medication you may be taking.

Please note: we are open till late on a Wednesday until 8.00pm for patients that cannot attend during the day to register. Late appointments are also available for new patient health check appointments.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.

Change of Personal Details

It is important that data is kept up to date. We would therefore be grateful if you could tell us promptly if you change your name, address or telephone number etc by filling out this online form.

Temporary Registration

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. After 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.

Accountable/Named GP

As from the 1st of April 2015, the practice is required under the terms of the latest GP contract to allocate all patients a named accountable GP.

This is purely an administrative exercise in order that patients can have a named responsible GP should they require them.

For convenience your named accountable GP will be the named doctor you are registered with. 

If you wish to be told the name of your accountable GP, please ask the receptionist when you next attend the surgery. 

Please note: there is no need to telephone the practice for this information.

If you need input from a variety of health professionals, then you can discuss this with your named GP if you wish. Alternatively you can discuss this with any of the other doctors.

Having a named GP does not prevent you seeing any other doctor in the practice. 

Your named GP will not be available at all times and if your needs are urgent, you may need to discuss them with an alternative doctor.
