Join the surgery

We use an online service called Register with a GP surgery that makes it easy to register with us.

Just fill in this quick online form to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.

The service is designed and run by the NHS, so your personal information is safe. It cuts our administrative workload and makes it easier for you to register.

Paper forms are still available if you need one.

The service is designed and run by the NHS. It aims to cut practices’ workloads and make GP registration easier for the public.

Please ask at reception if you would like to check whether you live within the catchment area. 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 can either register online using the link above or come into the practice.

To help aid us in the registration process when attending the practice or completing the online registration form we ask that, if you can, please bring with you or send via email to nelondonicb.leytonhealthcarepatients@nhs.net:

• For children under 16 please provide a copy of their Red Book/immunisation details.

Bringing or sending proof of address and ID when you register will help us match up your medical records and will make for a smoother registration process.

If you have NHS number please provide this so we can easily locate your record. If you do not know your NHS number click here to find it.

Linked profiles in your NHS account

From 1st April 2015, practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.

The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.

• Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
• Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.

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.
