How to register with West End Medical Practice
NHS.uk currently shows the Lucas Green Road branch as accepting new patients. This does not always mean every nearby address can register, so check your postcode first.
Use NHS Find a GP or contact the surgery. Ask: “I live at this postcode. Can I register with West End Medical Practice?”
Start from the NHS profile or the official practice website. If online registration is available, complete it carefully. If not, ask reception what to do.
You may need your name, date of birth, address, phone number, email, previous GP, NHS number if known, and basic health information.
ID and proof of address can help. NHS guidance says you should not be refused GP registration only because you do not have ID, proof of address, immigration status, or an NHS number.
If you take regular medicine, tell the practice and your pharmacy when you register. This helps reduce the risk of running out while records transfer.
What to bring to your GP appointment
Bringing the right things can save another call or second visit. This is very helpful for new patients, carers, older patients and people taking several medicines.

Practice online route
Use the official Chobham and West End Medical Practice website for online prescription guidance and medication contact routes.
Pharmacy help
Your local pharmacy can often help with medicine advice, side effects, repeat prescription process questions and prescription collection.
Phone if stuck
If you cannot use online tools, call the surgery and ask which prescription route is right for you. Say clearly if you are close to running out.
West End Medical Practice test results and blood test questions
Patients often call about blood test results, urine tests, swabs, hospital letters or referral updates. The safest route is to follow the instruction given when your test was arranged.
Ask when results are expected
Before leaving your appointment, ask when the result should be back and how you will hear. Some results take longer than others.
Check the NHS App if available
Some patients can see parts of their GP record or test information through the NHS App. Availability depends on your account and practice settings.
Call if you are worried
If symptoms are worse, or you have not heard when you expected to, call the surgery and ask what the next step is.
Do not ignore symptoms
Do not assume “no news” always means everything is fine. If you feel worse, use the right urgent service.
Sick notes, fit notes and work letters
A fit note is the note many employers ask for when you are off work because of illness. You may not need a GP fit note for the first few days of sickness, because self-certification may apply.
Ask whether they need a self-certification form or a GP fit note.
If you need a fit note, use the online form if available or call reception and explain the date your illness started.
Say when you became unwell, whether you are still off work and whether you have already spoken to a doctor or nurse.
If you were treated in hospital, ask the hospital team whether they should provide a note or discharge letter.
