ADDITIONAL GP SERVICES AT CATERHAM DENE

NHS services are there for you when you need them. But many people are using urgent care services with health concerns that could be treated by a GP or pharmacist. This makes these services very busy and means you and others may have to wait longer to be treated.

The NHS is doing everything it can to prepare for the extra pressures and demands over the busy winter months.

You can #HelpMyNHS to give the best care by making sure you and your loved ones get the right care, at the right time, in the right place. This website helps you do this by highlighting where you can get medical treatment that is right for you. It includes details on the alternative services to A&E and GPs, along with tips on using of GP appointments properly, taking steps to help prevent getting ill and self-manage minor illnesses, as well as other services, such as pharmacists.

Practice Boundary map

You can only be registered as a patient at one GP Surgery so if you register with us you will be de-registered from your current surgery and your previous medical notes will be passed to us.

Please come to reception and ask for a registration form or print one from the links below to complete and bring with you along with proof of your identity and of your address. These forms include a medical questionnaire as it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. It would assist us if you are able to bring your Medical Card with you.

In addition to the completion of a Registration Form you will also need to complete a GMS1 form. This can either be collected from the surgery or downloaded from the internet.
