When Registering As A New Patient It Is Good To Know:

That it can take up to a month to be uploaded as a new patient from when you submit to us your forms.
You will usually receive a text message confirming when you have been registered.
The Practice will be unable to do things like provide you with a repeat prescription or appointments until you are registered.
If you was previously registered with another Practice then we will request your medical records from them however it can take up to six months for these to come through. Therefore, it may be a good idea for you to request a "brief summary" from your previous Surgery before you register with us and hand it in with your registration forms. That way, if you want a repeat prescription for example then the process will be easier when you become a registered patient with us as our GP's will have it in writing that you are officially on that medication.

Interpretation Services That Bexley Medical Group Can Offer:

Bexley Medical Group is proud to offer a wide range of interpretation services to our patients and we strive to support our patients with any communication needs.

Patients should make us aware If English is not their first spoken language / they are deaf and would like us to book them an interpreter for appointments when registering as a new patient. This will be recorded on their notes but please inform us when making an appointment if an interpreter will be required to ensure that a booking is made.

We can request for an interpreter to attend appointments with our patients who are: Non English speaking and deaf (via a BSL sign language interpreter.)

PATIENT DECLARATION for all patients who are not ordinarily resident in the UK

Anybody in England can register with a GP practice and receive free medical care from that practice. However, if you are not ‘ordinarily resident’ in the UK you may have to pay for NHS treatment outside of the GP practice. Being ordinarily resident broadly means living lawfully in the UK on a properly settled basis for the time being. In most cases, nationals of countries outside the European Economic Area must also have the status of ‘indefinite leave to remain’ in the UK. Some services, such as diagnostic tests of suspected infectious diseases and any treatment of those diseases are free of charge to all people, while some groups who are not ordinarily resident here are exempt from all treatment charges. More information on ordinary residence, exemptions and paying for NHS services can be found in the Visitor and Migrant patient leaflet, available from your GP practice.

You may be asked to provide proof of entitlement in order to receive free NHS treatment outside of the GP practice, otherwise you may be charged for your treatment. Even if you have to pay for a service, you will always be provided with any immediately necessary or urgent treatment, regardless of advance payment. The information you give on this form will be used to assist in identifying your chargeable status, and may be shared, including with NHS secondary care organisations (e.g. hospitals) and NHS Digital, for the purposes of validation, invoicing and cost recovery. You may be contacted on behalf of the NHS to confirm any details you have provided.

Please select one of the following statements

I understand that I may need to pay for NHS treatment outside of the GP practice

I understand I have a valid exemption from paying for NHS treatment outside of the GP practice. This includes for

example, an EHIC, or payment of the Immigration Health Charge (“the Surcharge”), when accompanied by a valid visa. I can provide documents to support this when requested

I do not know my chargeable status

I declare that the information I give on this form is correct and complete. I understand that if it is not correct, appropriate action may be taken against me.
