New Patient Registration

If you would like to use the medical services at The Riverside Practice, please register your whole household with the practice.

All new patients are offered an appointment for a health check with the practice nurse.

How to Register

In order to provide our patients the best possible care, we regret that we can only accept new patients who live in our catchments area which is currently E5 and part of N16 only.

Check you live within the boundary area

This is mainly in selected roads in Upper Clapton E5. There is a more a detailed map at the surgery.

Although you can register if you live outside the catchment area, we would strongly advise that you register with a GP closer to where you live to ensure best care. For example, if you become housebound, we ill not be able to visit you at home if you live outside the practice area.

Enter your post code to check you live within the practice boundary area.

Complete a New Patient Registration Form

If you live within the boundary area, please complete our new patient registration.

Paper Form

If you are not able to complete an online form, come into the practice to fill out a paper form.

Temporary Services

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 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.

Choosing a GP

When you register we will allocate you a named, accountable GP. If you wish for the GP that you have been allocated to be changed, please contact the Practice and we will do our best to accommodate your wishes.

Please note: You can still make an appointment to see any doctor in the practice.
