Registering
We are currently accepting new patients who live within the practice catchment area. If you wish to register at Warders Medical Centre contact the practice to request a registration pack.
Please ensure the pack is completed and returned to the practice with the relevant ID (photographic proof of identity, such as your passport or driving licence and proof of residency; this could be a recent (within three months) bank statement or utility bill) at least a week before making an appointment. This will enable the medical team to use the computer system when they see you, and potentially have access to the electronic notes from your previous surgery.
For further information on how to register with a GP in the UK please visit the NHS website in the first instance (www.nhs.uk). If you are unable to find a Practice locally to register with, please contact the Primary Care Allocation Service on 01622 228393 or email KMCCG.patientallocations@nhs.net

Registration
If you live in our Penshurst catchment area and would like to register with the practice, you will need to complete a Registration Form. You can pick one up from Reception at the Surgery. You will also need two forms of ID – one a photo ID and the other giving a proof of address.
Once this process has been completed we will be able to register you as a permanent patient.
You can then book a ‘New Patient Check’ appointment with our Healthcare Assistant.
On joining the practice list you will be allocated a named doctor. We would encourage you to see this Doctor wherever possible, as we believe that continuity of care is helpful to both you and your Doctor.
If you wish to subsequently change to another Doctor, this is normally possible on discussion with the practice manager.
Once registered you will be able to attend either of our surgeries, Tonbridge or Penshurst.
Your Named GP
The surgery provides all patients with a named GP who will have overall responsibility for the care and support that our surgery provides to them.
We need to divide our patients evenly between all of our doctors, so they can manage their workload. Therefore to do this fairly and impartially, we have selected patients by surname to match to a doctor.
We know that some patients will wish their named GP to be a particular doctor. Where a patient expresses a preference as to which doctor they have been assigned, the practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate this request, but we would like to reassure patients that this system does not prevent you from seeing any GP in the practice as you currently do. Your named GP will not be available at all times.
You do not need to take any further action and will be informed of your named GP in due course. In the meantime, if you wish to be told the name of your accountable GP, please ask the receptionists when you are next in the surgery.
