Urgent advice: Service paused
Registrations
Due to current pressures on the practice, we have taken the decision to limit the number of new patient registrations at the Pavilion Surgery.
This means the patient registration process will operate in a different way and could involve registering with an alternative practice.
For assistance with finding a GP Surgery in Brighton please visit www.nhs.uk/service-search/find-a-gp
However we will continue to register the following patients in the usual way:
· Newborn or adopted babies of parents already registered at the practice
· First degree relatives of patients already registered at the Practice who are living at the same address as registered patients
Non-urgent advice: STEP 1: Register with the surgery
We are using an online service called Register with a GP surgery. This will make it easier for patients to sign up to our GP surgery.

Care During The Registration Process
Medication
We strongly encourage patients to continue to request any repeat medication from their previous practice to prevent them from running out before they can have an appointment with a GP at this surgery. The doctors recommend having 1-2 months worth of medication to allow any appointments to be made.
If this is not possible, emergency prescriptions can be requested via 111, either over the phone or online.
Once you are registered, you must book an appointment with the GP before you request any medication from us.
Care
If you need any medical attention before registration, we recommend the walk-in clinic by Brighton station called Practice Plus.
They are open 8am-8pm, 7 days a week, and can be contacted on 0333 321 0946.
111 can also provide medical attention if you are not yet registered with a surgery.
Accessing someone else’s information
As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.
To requests proxy access, please collect a proxy access form from reception from 8am to 6pm.
Linked profiles in your NHS account
Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.
The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.
Accountable GP
From 1st April 2015, practices are required to allocate all patients (including children) with a named accountable GP.
The named GP is responsible for the coordination and delivery of all appropriate services, where required based on clinical judgement, to each of their patients.
- Patients do not need to see their named GP when they book an appointment with the practice.
- Patients are entitled to choose to see any GP or nurse in the practice.
If you wish to change your accountable GP, you will need to write a request letter addressed to the practice manager. In the letter you will need to provide details of the GP that you currently have, which GP you would like to be changed to, and why.
