It is a requirement of the NHS that you are only registered with one GP practice. This means that when you register with us, you will no longer be registered with your other practice.

To ensure a complete medical history is available to the team providing your care the NHS only permits you to be registered with one GP practice at a time. This enables consistency and less disruption to care.

You can sign up in minutes and we aim to process registrations within two days. However, we have experienced a high volume of applications recently, so it could take up to a few weeks to register you and get your medical records transferred over.

After you have submitted your application, please download the app and enable in-app notifications so we can notify you when your registration is complete. We will also send you an email to let you know we have received your application, and a welcome email once it has been processed. Once registered, you can book appointments in the app and use our full range of services. While you are waiting to be registered, you are still able to use your existing GP practice.

Yes - you will remain registered with your existing GP until your application is processed. You can also use the symptom checker to check your symptoms.

Your records will be securely transferred from your current GP to us. This will provide our doctors with your full medical history to ensure we are able to provide you with the highest quality of care.

Please contact our support team who will be happy to help. We’re open from 8am to 10pm, 7 days a week. +44 (0) 330 808 2217

Once a medicine has been set up as a repeat prescription it can be requested via email on gpathand@nhs.net. Please specify full details of the medicine, your full name, date of birth and the collection pharmacy of your choice. Repeat prescriptions should be requested a minimum of three working days before required. Some prescriptions cannot be sent electronically and will be sent in the post, which means there may be a short delay.

If you want to return to your previous GP, you do not need to tell us. You only need to visit, call or email your previous practice and re-register with them.

NHS requirements currently state that a digital health service is not allowed to treat pregnant women. While pregnant, you will need to register with a traditional GP service to be treated.

Healthcheck is available free-of-charge to all Babylon GP at hand members. The information is sent directly to you and isn’t saved to your NHS health record. If you'd like to speak to one of our Babylon GP at hand doctors about any information you learn about from Healthcheck, they will be more than happy to assist.

We are a partner of the NHS and offer the same services as a traditional NHS GP practice. This includes digital and physical appointments, specialist referrals, mental health referrals, nurse appointments, women’s health advice, travel vaccinations, baby immunisations and family planning.

We always ask you to complete a digital appointment first. If, after that, you need a face-to-face appointment, please call our support line.

When you book a digital or physical appointment, you will be assigned a GMC registered, healthcare professional who will have access to your medical records and notes. If you want to see the same healthcare professional you saw for your last appointment, you can call our support line. Please be aware that not all doctors work every day, so you may need to wait for the appointment.

At the time of booking your face-to-face appointment, you will be asked by our support staff if you would like a chaperone to be present or you can request that a chaperone is present. A chaperone could be suggested by our support staff if there is an intimate examination indicated. If a chaperone has been requested, but we do not have one available, we will give you an alternative appointment when we can ensure a chaperone will be present. All of our staff acting as chaperones have been trained to be chaperones and have undergone the required DBS checks.
