As part of our commitment to making access easir for our elderly patients, from the 1st April we will be running a dedicated service for our patients aged 75 and over.

This will allow them to book a face-to-face GP appointment directly without going throught he triage system.

If you or a loved one is aged 75 or over and needs to see a GP, simply call our reception team and they will booke them into an available slot.

GDPR Regulation Update

"Please note that to comply with GDPR regulations, forms that were signed historically, giving a nominated 3^rd party access to parts of your medical record will not be acted upon.  Consent should be given each time a request is made.  To make access to aspects of a medical record easier,  Sellindge Surgery has now switched on the facility for a patient to view their future medical records (from 29.11.23) including investigation results.  Any patient who uses the NHS app on their smart phone or logs into a patient access account will be able to view their future medical record entries. "
