Addington Medical Centre is an established NHS GP surgery providing traditional family health care to our patients in Barnet. We have a dedicated Practice Team of clinical and administrative staff. Our aim is to enhance the quality of life of individuals and families in the local community through the efficient use of all health care resources available. 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.

Getting Through to Us Just Got Easier
We’ve introduced EMMA, an intelligent phone assistant, to answer your calls instantly.
No more engaged tones. No more waiting on hold. Just tell EMMA what you need – whether it’s an appointment,
a prescription query, or something else – and she’ll take care of it.
Our reception team is still here for you. EMMA simply helps us answer every call, every time.

Addington Medical Centre like many practices across the country have seen demand for appointments with clinicians increase. Patients also felt that they were waiting too long on the phone to get through to make an appointment and all too often the appointments are fully booked.
We are putting in place measures to meet demand and one way is the use of eConsult. eConsult is an online triage and consultation tool. It gives patients access to self-help, allows them to complete administrative tasks such as requesting a sick/fit note and makes it easier for GPs to assess what medical care patients need. A GP will triage all eConsults and assess who needs to be seen that day. Meanwhile Addington continues to offer pre-bookable appointments.

The Barnet Primary Care Network (PCN) Extended Access Service is also looking for patients who would
like to become involved in helping shape local healthcare services. This group provides an opportunity for
patients to share feedback and ideas about extended access services delivered across local practices. If you
would like to learn more about participating in the Barnet PCN PPG, please let a member of staff know and
we will be happy to provide further information.
