We are a Safe Surgery for everyone in our practice area.We might ask for ID or proof of address.
But if you don’t have any and you live in our practice area, you can still register with us.
We won’t ask for immigration documents.
Out of area Registration
We will happily consider new patient registrations for those living outside of our practice area (but still within the borough of Islington) and understand that this can be more convenient for certain patients.
However as most referral pathways and services are postcode based, this may impact upon our ability to provide the best care.
- Such registrations will be individually reviewed by the partnership team to determine whether we can safely meet the individual's care needs.
- We cannot provide home visits for patients who live outside of our practice boundary area.
Please contact us to discuss the posibilities of registering with us.
If you live outside of the practice area and wish to be registered with us (e.g. because you work near to the practice), you may request to be registered with us. The partnership team will decide if it is clinically safe and advisable for you to be registered out of area or not. Their decision is final.
Your Named GP
River Place Group Practice provide all patients with a named "usual GP" who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to them. We encourage patients to try and see their usual GP where possible, particularly for ongoing problems.
We need to divide our patients evenly between all of our doctors, so they can manage their workload. Therefore the "registering GP" rotates from week to week based on each GP's list size. We try to keep families under the same usual GP where possible, so new babies will be registered with their mother's usual GP.
Your usual GP will look after your repeat prescriptions, medication reviews and will be forwarded any correspondence received from other services (including hospital clinic letters).
If you wish to be told the name of your usual GP, please ask the Care Navigator Team when you are next in the surgery.
If you have any questions, or wish to discuss this further with us, please contact the practice manager Dawn Gaine.
