Registering With Us
We are delighted to accept new patients onto our list – we are proud of our team and the quality of care they offer to patients and feel sure you will feel the same. You may need the best quality continuity of care for existing conditions or simply fast and efficient access to the right clinician on the day. Either way we will give you the support you need.
You can register with us by visiting Northern Medical Centre during opening times Monday to Friday, and speak to our receptionists. However, we recommend using online registration link below for your convenience.
Practice Area
Please enter your postcode below to ensure you live within our practice service area before attempting to register with the practice.
Catchment Area
The Practice area extends from Tufnell Park Road to Highgate Village along Archway & Holloway Road to before the Odeon Cinema at Seven Sisters Road. If your postcode is N19, N6, N4 or N7 you are most likely to fall within our Practice area. Bus routes 17, 43, 263 and 271 pass by the surgery.
If you do not live in the Practice area our receptionists will try to assist you by giving you the name of a GP that may be nearer to you, or they will give you the telephone number of the local Clinical Commissioning Group or NHS England who may be able to help.
Changes to Personal Details
Please come into the surgery and ask to fill in a ‘change of details’ form if you change your name, address and/or telephone number so that our records on you are accurate and up-to-date.
Guide to GP Services
The Royal College of General Practitioners has produced a useful guide for patients about the services on offer at GP Surgeries and how to access them.
You can download the guide below.
Temporary Registration
If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.
You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.
To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
