Abbey Wood Surgery

We are open 8am – 6.30pm Monday to Friday

How to register

We accept patients living in at SE2 and SE28 postcodes only. For existing patients who move outside of these postcodes, you can still stay registered if you are moving to our ‘outer boundary’ which includes some SE18 streets,  this is not available to newly registering patients.

We require 2 proofs of address, if you are over 16 years old, dated within the last 3 months. Examples of suitable documentation include a utility bill, council tax bill, bank statement, HMRC/DWP letter or tenancy agreement. Mobile phone bills or cable services (Sky, Virgin Media etc) are not accepted.

Proof of identity is also required. Although not essential we would prefer this to be photo ID, such as a passport, driving license, Emergency/Armed Services Identity Card or national identity card. Non photo proof of ID includes a medical exemption or NHS card/ Letter if previously registered with a Dr in England, or a birth certificate, if you do not have photo ID. We cannot accept ‘selfies’ as proof of identity.

A completed GMS1 form and patient medical questionnaire is also required. These forms can be obtained from the surgery reception or completed online from the link below:

We recommend that all new patients over the age of 5 years undertake a health check with a Practice Nurse. This will be as a telephone consultation initially and Face to Face if necessary. Failure to do so or failing to attend for a New Patient Medical more than 3 times will mean that your registration will not be processed and you will not be able to use the services of this Surgery and will need to find another Doctor in the area.
