The Addington Medical Centre is an established NHS GP surgery providing traditional family health care to our patients in Barnet. We have 4 doctors (2 male and 2 female) and a dedicated Practice Team of clinical and administrative staff.

This web-site is designed to provide information about our practice, and also provides links to other Health Care resources both locally and on the internet.

If you would like to register as a patient at our surgery please visit the New Patient Registration page.

MMR immunisation catch-up for children over 10 years old

Because of the current outbreak of measles in the UK the Department of Health have recommended that all children over 10 years of age who have not previously received 2 MMR immunisations should now be immunised.

If this applies to your child please make an appointment with the Practice Nurse for immunisation as soon as possible.

Following the installation of our new computer system it is now possible for patients to contact the surgery on-line using Patient Access (formerly known as Emis Access). This will allow you to:

  • request repeat prescriptions
  • book or cancel appointments
  • inform us about changes to your personal details such as change of address or telephone number

If you would like to use this facility please complete an application form. You will then need to attend the surgery to register for Patient Access. Patients must be aged 16 years or over. Please remember to bring some ID such as passport or driver's license.

Information on Patient Access

NHS 111
111

In the case of urgent need when the surgery is closed please dial 111 which is the local NHS Healthcare service, accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  

The NHS 111 service is staffed by a team of fully trained advisers, supported by experienced nurses. They will ask you questions to assess your symptoms, then give you the healthcare advice you need or direct you straightaway to the local service that can help you best. 

You should use the NHS 111 service if you urgently need medical help or advice but it's not a life-threatening situation.  Calls to this number are free from landlines and mobile phones.

Summary Care Record - your emergency care summary
Summary Care Record

The NHS in England is introducing the Summary Care Record, which will be used in emergency care.

To ensure those caring for you have enough information to treat you safely, the record will only contain information about any medicines you are taking, allergies you suffer from and any bad reactions to medicines you have had.

Your Summary Care Record will only be available to authorised healthcare staff providing your care anywhere in England, but they will have to ask your permission before they look at it. This means that if you have an accident or become ill, the doctors treating you will have immediate access to important information about your health.

As a patient you have a choice:

  • Yes I would like a Summary Care Record – you do not need to do anything and a Summary Care Record will be created for you.

  • No I do not want a Summary Care Record – click here for the opt out form. Please print and complete the form and return it to the GP practice.

If you do nothing we will assume that you are happy with these changes and create a Summary Care Record for you. Children under 16 will automatically have a Summary Care Record created for them unless their parent or guardian chooses to opt them out. If you are the parent or guardian of a child under 16 and feel that they are old enough to understand, then you should make this information available to them.

You can choose not to have a Summary Care Record and you can change your mind at any time by informing your GP practice in writing. If you choose to opt out of having a Summary Care Record, and then change your mind later, we can still make one for you. You just need to let your GP practice know.


Whatever you decide the NHS will always give you the best possible care.

You can find out more by visiting www.nhscarerecords.nhs.uk or telephone the dedicated NHS Summary Care Record Information Line on 0300 123 3020.

Patient Groups at the Addington Medical Centre

We want your ideas and opinions

Are you interested in supporting the practice in delivering/developing patient services?

We are looking for patients from all age groups, social and cultural backgrounds to help us.

We already have an active Patient Participation Group. However we would like to expand on this and gather the views of a wider and larger representation of our practice population.

To facilitate this we would be looking to create an email group whereby we can canvass members without the need for people to attend meetings at the practice.

If you are interested in being involved please pick up a leaflet on Patient and Public Involvement at the reception desk.

More information is available on our Patient Groups page

Referrals for Procedures of Limited Clinical Effectiveness

Some treatments are now described as ‘Procedures of Limited Clinical Effectiveness’, and need to be considered on a case by case basis before they can be provided on the NHS.


If your clinician (usually a GP or consultant) does refer you, they will need to make an application for funding because;
• The effectiveness of the procedure needs to be assessed
• More information about your health might be needed
• This can take four to six weeks
• Your doctor will be informed of the decision and they will pass this on to you
