Online Appointments Booking and Repeat Prescription Ordering

You can now have access to our appointments system online. By using this system you will be able to book an appointment with a GP up to six weeks in advance (no bookings for Same Day appointments).

You can also have access to the new Repeat Prescription ordering facility.

The new system will allow you to choose the medication from your medical record (repeat medication screen only) rather than you having to type into the current form on the website or an email.

The new system will require you to have a user name and password which will then allow you to log on to the practice clinical system and see a list of your medications with dates when they were last issued to you. 

To find out more and obtain a user name and password please see one of the reception Team.  You will need Photographic identification in order to register for this service.

Utilising this service will enable you to access both appointments and prescriptions 24 hours a day.

New Patient Registration

registrationTo register you will need to be living in Chafford Hundred and to produce your medical card, together with your birth certificate/ passport plus a utility bill. In exceptional circumstances, we may be able to register you without production of a medical card but you will need to know your National Health Number.

You will be registered with the group practice but you may wish to request to have a “preferred” GP of your choice. Please feel free to arrange this with the receptionist at your registration.

At your registration appointment, the nurse will discuss your medical history and undertake a BP and weight check. She will ask you to produce a urine sample (if you have not brought one with you, a bottle can be obtained from reception prior to your appointment).

If you are taking any regular medication, including contraception, you should bring the packets with you for the nurse to record.

Please ensure that you book a routine appointment with the doctor to obtain your first prescription from this surgery. Children under the age of five are not required to attend a new patient registration appointment.

However, we will require some important information, such as immunisation history, and the receptionists will give you a form to complete to this effect.
