Join the practice (Registration)

Register at the Surgery

Ilford Lane Surgery welcomes new patients who live within the IG1 catchment area.

Catchment Area

To join our practice, new patients will need to click here and complete the online registration process or scan the QR code. Alternatively, you can register via 

https://gp-registration.nhs.uk/F86082

You can register at Ilford Lane Surgery  via the link above or please call into reception and complete the relavant forms. 

In order to complete your registration you will need to provide the surgery with your proof of address and identification. For example, a valid drivers licence, passport and a utility bill issued within the last three months.

All new patients are offered a health check with a member of the healthcare team to ensure that any required tests are up to date and that we have an accurate note of any repeat medication you may be taking.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.

Child Patient Registration

Please note that at least one person with parental responsibility must be registered at 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.

Disabled Access

• Wheelchair access is available for disabled patients.

Help with communication

• We have access to external interpreters/advocates.
• We can also book interpreters for Sign language.
• We have recently got a Portable Hearing loop in the surgery.

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups.
