 New On-Line Registration facility for new patients

Patients wishing to join our GP Practice can now do this on-line by following the attached link  https://gp-registration.nhs.uk/G82032 or via the NHS App. This now avoids the need to complete paper forms and should make the process easier for patients and our staff. Please note we can only accept new patient applications from patients living within our Gravesend and Northfleet catchment area.

Measles

Since 2022, measles activity has been slowly increasing globally, with large outbreaks ongoing in multiple countries across South Asia and Africa. In 2023, there have been several measles outbreaks across London which causes additional risks to neighbouring areas where there is low uptake such as Kent and Medway.

NEW SURGERY & RELOCATION - PROPOSAL & SURVEY

New Surgery Information Pack

New Surgery Survey

Many thanks for taking the time to look at the patient information pack we have provided and the patient survey that has been designed to gather feedback on our proposal to build a new surgery.  

The reason for proposing the relocation of all GP services to a new purpose-built medical centre, situated midway between both current surgeries at the former St Joseph’s Convent Preparatory School (46 Old Road East, DA12 1NR), is that both our current surgeries at Pelham Road and St Gregory’s are now working at full capacity and the facilities and buildings are no longer fit for purpose. These surgeries are not fully compliant with the current NHS contract standards and cannot be expanded or improved. We have very few options to expand our workforce or services further, and the current facilities do not allow the practice to provide GP services in the most efficient and modern working manner.

Another urgent factor making it vital that we increase the capacity for our surgery is that our practice population is at 15,000 with our current facilities built to handle a population size of 14,000 patients. Gravesham’s population is forecast to continue growing at 6% and as a GP practice our own patient population has continued to increase at over 6% per annum.

Please email back your completed survey to kmicb.pelhammp@nhs.net or if completing a paper copy kindly return to either of our surgeries at Pelham Medical Practice, 17 Pelham Road, Gravesend, Kent, DA11 0HN or St Gregory’s Surgery, 116 St Gregory’s Crescent, Gravesend, Kent DA12 4JW

 

Many Thanks

Pelham Medical Practice
