New Patient Registration

How to Register

You are very welcome to register with the practice if you live within the practice area. In addition to this, we are now accepting ‘out of area’ patient registrations providing certain criteria is met.

Check you live within the boundary area

First check you are in our catchment area. If you have any questions about this join this surgery please contact us.

Your Named GP

Patients registered at Whitstable Medical Practice will always be allocated a named GP. All patients will be informed of their usual GP at the point of your registration being accepted.

Please contact a Patient Coordinator for any further information in regards to registration.

Breakdown of GP/Patient Relationship

If at any time you feel that there is a breakdown of the doctor/patient relationship and you wish to discuss this with someone, please contact the Practice Manager.

The GPs at the Practice appreciate that there may be situations when it might be better for both the patient and the GP if a patient registers with a different doctor. Please do not hesitate to speak to the Supervisor or the Practice Manager so that arrangements for a transfer can be made.

Requesting a different GP will in no way affect the future care of the patient or the services they receive. However, doctors usually like to be made aware of such requests, so they can reflect on the reasons why the request has been made in order to develop their communication, consultation and clinical skills where necessary.

Change of Address

Please let us know as soon as possible if your address changes.

Complete a change of details form

If you don’t wish to use the online form then drop into the practice and pick up a paper form.
