Ilam Medical Centre welcomes new patients from inside our enrolment zone.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
Patients need to consider carefully if they require any repeat medications around the time of enrolment as the process can take 3-4 weeks. Until your notes are received from your previous practice, and you have had your first appointment, your GP will not be able to issue any repeat medications. It is the patients’ responsibility to manage their requirements over this transition period.
We require notes from previous practice to be transferred to ensure your new Doctor has a full and clear medical history. If patients do not agree to transfer notes from their previous practice, we will not agree to enrolment.
All new patients are required to have a double appointment with their new GP for the first visit. Unfortunately, we have had a number of patients who attend for this appointment and leave without paying. We now require patients to pay for their first appointment prior to us requesting their notes from their previous practice. We will not progress your enrolment process until payment is received. This means that you will remain enrolled at your previous practice until prepayment of your first, double appointment is received
Our enrolment process and requirements are listed below:
