Important Notice
10th May 2018
Requests to join our Practice List
Unfortunately at the present time we are not accepting patients for a limited time. This is due to our current patient numbers which we have had to cap. This is necessary to ensure that the care of our existing patients is safe and not compromised and that we can safely meet all the demands of consultations with due regard to the well-being of our GP’s and staff as well as patients.
We are able to do this on an informal basis under Regulation 171 of our GMS contract with NHS West Kent Clinical Commissioning Group. We are capping of our list on a temporary basis and we are carefully monitoring the situation.
Currently we are accepting new babies, students retuning to the family home, and anyone joining the same household. Patients entering a Nursing Home for which we are responsible will also be accepted.
Any visiting relative or friend at the same address as an existing patient may also be treated for an acute illness as a temporary patient.
This is no intention for discrimination of any kind to any party making an application.
If you have just moved into the area and have a mobility problem that means you cannot access another practice, please write to the Practice Manager at the above address.
The other practices in Sevenoaks are aware of our closure and maybe approached for possible registration.
These practices are:
If you have any difficulties in finding a GP please contact the Patient Allocation Team on 01622 228393.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
