Out of area registration scheme

The out of area registration scheme launched by the government is voluntary and this practice has chosen to participate in this scheme. This means we are able to register patients living outside our catchment area, however this is discretionary and may not be appropriate for all patients. Please speak to one of our receptionists for more information

Welcome to The Elmhurst Practice

With patient’s needs at the heart of everything we do, our website has been designed to make it easy for you to gain instant access to the information you need. As well as specific practice details such as opening hours and how to register, you’ll find a wealth of useful pages covering a wide range of health issues along with links to other relevant medical organisation.

Access and Parking

Disabled access is available to the side of the building near to the car park entrance. Disabled toilet and baby changing facilities are available.

There is a pay and display car park at the rear of the building. This belongs to Redbridge Council and not the surgery.

New Patient Registrations

We are open for new patient registrations and have made it easier for you to register with us during the Coronavirus Pandemic. Please select the new patients tab at the top of the page for more information.

COVID VACCINATION PROGRAMME

The covid vaccination programme will shortly be underway in Redbridge. As the vaccination programme gets underway we will invite patients who are eligible to have the vaccine to book their appointments.

For now we ask our residents to help us deliver this effectively to those who need it most by doing the following:

wait to be invited for your vaccine – you will be contacted when it’s the right time to come forward so please don’t seek a vaccine before then;
act on your invite and make sure you attend your appointments when you arrange them;
and of course, stay safe by following all the social distancing and hand hygiene guidance, which will still save lives.

You can find out more about the vaccine here:

If you wish to find out more you can read detailed guidance and view all publications on delivering the vaccination programme here.

Certificate of vaccination

Your General Practice is unable to offer you a certification of covid vaccination, a vaccination passport or a letter to prove you have been vaccinated against covid-19. You can however find details of all your vaccinations on the NHS App.

Proof of vaccination documents have not yet been developed and as such cannot be provided by your GP. As soon as we have further information we will share it with you.
