Safe Surgeries Initiative

We are a Safe Surgery – everyone in our community is welcome at our practice.

Everyone living in England has the right to free care from a GP and we work hard to make sure no one in our community is excluded from healthcare. This means that:

When you register with our GP Practice, we might ask for ID or proof of address.
However, if you don’t have any and you live in our practice area, you can still register with us.
Your nationality or immigration status does not affect your right to register with us.
We won’t ask you for immigration documents when you register at our practice.
If you are worried about giving us your address, please let us know. Your information is safe with us.

Catchment Area (Practice Boundary)

We accept registrations from patients in the local area. If you are unsure if you live in our boundary area, please click on the link below or call us on 020 8319 5880.

Named GP

Everyone of our patients has a named GP. They have overall responsibility for the care and support that we provide to you. This does not mean that you only have to see your named GP – you can see any clinician within our practice.

We will let you know who your named GP is when you register with the practice. You can always ask our reception team who your named GP is too.

Accessing someone else's information

Some patients find it helpful for a second person to have access to their online GP record. This is often a family member, medical next of kin, a close friend or a carer whom they trust to act on their behalf. This is called proxy access.

How to Request Proxy Access

To request proxy access for a patient, please contact our practice.

Patient Consent: If the patient is able to make decisions, they must understand and agree to granting access.

Form Submission: We will provide a form that must be completed.

Identity Verification: You will need to provide photo identification to confirm your identity.

Review Process: Our team will assess the request and determine the appropriate level of access. If approved, we will update our medical system accordingly.

If you need help filling out the form or have any accessibility requirements, please let us know. We are happy to provide assistance.

Proxy Access for Adults Who Cannot Give Consent

Typically, proxy access is granted when an adult patient (aged 16 or older) requests it and gives informed consent. This means they understand and agree to another person accessing their medical information.

However, some adults may be unable to give consent due to conditions such as dementia or other health issues. This is referred to as lacking capacity.

In these cases, our GP surgery may still be able to grant proxy access based on what is in the best interests of the patient. We will review each situation carefully before making a decision.

If you have any questions or need further support, please contact our team. We are here to help.

Accessibility Support

We strive to make our services accessible to all. If you require this information in an alternative format (such as large print or audio) or if you need assistance completing forms, please let us know.
