Patients no longer need to telephone to book an appointment with a clinician. You must now complete a simple form via our website to contact us about your request, which you to submit a short medical or administrative query to the Surgery for review by our GP Triage Team.
The form is available for clinical queries from 8-4 pm Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays), however in the event we reach a safe working capacity, the clinical submissions will be switched off for that day.
Please don’t worry if you do not have access to the internet or have difficulty with IT, you can pop into the surgery and a member of our Reception Team will be happy to complete and submit a medical or admin query on your behalf. If you’re unable to get to the surgery then please telephone us instead on 01732865055.
Once your submission has been reviewed by the Triage Team, a member of the booking team will be in touch with you for an appointment.

Enhanced Access
Local GP practices are working together to offer patients better access to GP appointments in the Sevenoaks area, which means you will be able to see a GP, Practice Nurse, or other health professional at a time that is most convenient for you. At Edenbridge, we offer late evening appointments (18:30 – 20:00) two evenings each week and Morning appointments between (7.30 and 8.00) on a Wednesday and Friday the occasional Saturday (09:00 – 13:00) on a rota with other practices in the area.
Referral to a Hospital or Specialist
On certain occasions, the GP will refer you to a Hospital to see a specialist. Once you have been referred, you should receive acknowledgement and confirmation that a referral has been made from the secretaries. Once the hospital has made you an appointment, you will receive confirmation directly from the hospital that you have been referred to. In some instances, you may be asked to book your own appointments through the Choose & Book Service.
The surgery receives many enquiries about referrals, requesting that we write a letter to chase up or expedite a hospital appointment/operation. It is now the Hospitals that are now obliged to respond to any queries you might have about your care.
