Opening hours
Official pages list Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 6:30pm. Extended access may be available by enquiry, but it should be confirmed with reception.
New patients
The official New Patients page says doctors welcome new patients who live within the practice area. Registration still depends on catchment.
Online triage
For non-urgent medical and admin requests, the practice asks patients to use the online consultation route during core hours where possible.

How to request an NHS GP appointment at Chislehurst Medical Practice
The official appointments page says GP appointment requests are subject to clinical triage. For medical or administrative enquiries, patients are directed to complete an online consultation. You can also phone the practice, use online services for some bookable appointments, or visit either site in person.
| Route | Best for | What to prepare | When not to use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online consultation | Non-urgent clinical requests, administrative requests and clear triage information. | Symptoms, start date, severity, medication, relevant photos if requested, and callback availability. | Do not use for urgent medical concerns or 999 symptoms. |
| NHS App / online services | Repeat prescriptions, some appointment management, NHS account tasks and test-result access where enabled. | NHS login details, correct patient profile and one clear reason for contact. | Do not assume every clinician or appointment type can be booked directly online. |
| Phone: 0208 295 8280 | Patients who cannot use online routes, need access support, need to amend an appointment, or have an urgent practice concern. | Name, date of birth, phone number, symptoms, medication, urgency and access needs. | Do not call routine reception instead of 999 if someone is seriously ill or injured. |
| In person | Patients needing help completing the same appointment request format or using the iPads at either site. | Reason for request, current contact details and any accessibility or interpreting needs. | Do not travel without checking opening and site details if the request is not urgent. |
| Pharmacy / NHS services | Minor illnesses, medicine questions, urgent non-emergency support and local service signposting. | Symptoms, age, allergies, pregnancy status if relevant and current medicines. | Use GP/111/999 routes if symptoms are severe, concerning or worsening. |
Good request example: “I am registered with Chislehurst Medical Practice. I need help with _____. It started _____. It is getting better/worse. I take _____. I am worried because _____. I can take a call at _____. Please advise whether this should be GP, nurse, pharmacist, NHS 111, urgent treatment centre or emergency care.”
Urgent appointment wording
If the issue feels more urgent than the time slot offered, tell the care navigation team clearly. The official appointments page says urgent concerns should be triaged appropriately.
More than one problem
Routine appointments are usually 10 minutes. If you have more than one concern, say this at triage because you may need more than one appointment.

Register with Chislehurst Medical Practice
The official New Patients page says the doctors welcome new patients who live within the practice area. Any person who lives within the practice area may be registered, but the practice can review reapplications from people previously deducted at its discretion.
Check catchment first
Use the official practice boundary information before applying. Registration is linked to living inside the practice area.
Register online or paper
The official New Patients page links to NHS online registration and a paper registration form. Use the route that works best for you.
Do not leave medication too late
If you take regular medication, register before you run out. Records and repeat medicine setup can take time.
| Prepare this | Why it matters | Helpful tip |
|---|---|---|
| Current Chislehurst/Kent address | Registration depends on the practice area. | Use your current address, not an old GP address. |
| NHS number if known | Helps match your NHS record. | You can find it in the NHS App or on NHS letters. |
| Previous GP details | Supports transfer of records. | Include practice name and town if you know them. |
| Medication and allergies | Important while records move. | Keep enough medication while registration is processed. |
| Access or language needs | The practice can arrange interpreting/translation support for appointments. | Mention this when booking or registering. |
Repeat prescriptions, medicines and pharmacy help
The official repeat-prescriptions page says patients can order repeat prescriptions using the NHS App or NHS account. It also says prescription requests are not accepted by phone. Prescriptions are usually available from the pharmacy 3 to 5 working days after ordering.
NHS App / NHS account
Use the NHS App or NHS account to order repeats, nominate a pharmacy and manage prescription tasks without phoning reception.
Nominated pharmacy
You need to choose a pharmacy to collect prescriptions from. You can change your nomination through the app, GP practice or a pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions.
Medication questions
For questions about medicines, your local pharmacist can often help. Use GP/111/999 routes if symptoms are severe, worsening or urgent.
Do not order repeat prescriptions by phone: the official page says prescription requests are not accepted by phone. Request early, especially before weekends, bank holidays or travel.
Medication reviews
If you have a repeat prescription, the practice may ask you to come in for a regular review. Do not ignore review requests because they support safe prescribing.
Old medicines
Take old medicines to the pharmacy you got them from or bring them to the surgery. Do not put them in household bins or flush them away.
Test results, sick notes, NHS App and online services
Test results
The official test-results page says the practice will contact you if results show you need further tests or treatment. Once reviewed, results can be viewed through the NHS App.
You can also phone or visit between 10am and 4pm once results have been reviewed, or send an online message.
Sick / fit notes
If you have been off sick for more than 7 days, the official page says you can send an online message or phone/visit the surgery from 10am to 6pm.
If you have been off sick for 7 days or less, your employer should normally use self-certification.
NHS App and Patient Access
The online-services page says the NHS App can support repeat prescriptions, health-record access, appointment management and GP messages where available.
Patients without a smartphone can access the NHS App online through a browser.
Online services note: the practice says all new patients are automatically registered for online services from the date of registration, and NHS App champions may be available to help with setup.
