Please note, we now offer extended hours on Wednesday evening, till 7:30 p.m.

There have been NHS Surgeries at 87/89 Prince of Wales Road since 1975, when several small practices came together to work under one roof.

Dr Matthewman has worked there since 1990 and is independent from any other practice in the building. He was born and brought up in London and qualified at Bristol University in 1979.

His main interest is in General Practice, and he has had hospital experience in Maternity, Casualty and Paediatrics. He has a Certificate in Family Planning.

Dr Matthewman is also a Fellow of The Royal College of Surgeons and has held hospital posts in General and Urological Surgery, and most recently in Breast Surgery at the Royal Free Hospital (2003-2007).

Area - includes parts of NW1, NW5 and NW3, a map is on the wall by reception. Essentially comprises the triangle bounded by Camden Road, Kentish Town Road and Hampstead Heath. The list is open to all those within this area, including the homeless, the infirm elderly, and those needing help with drug and alcohol addiction. Click here for a map showing the Surgery location.

If you move out of the area, please inform the Practice. We can then advise you whether or not you will need to re-register elsewhere. If it is still in or near our Practice area, then you may be able to stay on the list. The Practice can sometimes be flexible about the practice boundaries, especially where known patients move to just outside it. We are also receptive to the idea of patients registering with us who live well away, but who work in the area. Such patients can sometimes find it more convenient to see a doctor close to their work. However, if you move without telling us your new address, the local Health Authority is quite likely to remove your name from our list and recall your notes, which can be very tedious administratively for us as well as you. Therefore, please keep us informed of your new address.

You can just come along to the Morning Surgery; you do not need an appointment. However, you will need an appointment for Afternoon or Evening surgery. Please note we are now open later on Wednesday evenings.

We also have a time slot betweeen 11:30 a.m and 12 noon each weekday morning where patients can phone in and be put straight through to the doctor.

We advise all patients over the age of 75, to be seen at least annually for a check-up, at home if need be. Any patient aged between 16 and 74 not seen for the past 3 years may also request a health check.

To register, proof of address and photo I.D. required, previous NHS card would be helpful. Waiting room, toilet and ground floor examination rooms are wheelchair accessible.

Just come along during opening hours bringing ID and Proof of your Address. Ours is the FIRST reception desk on your left as you enter.

Please bring your previous medical card if you can find it - click here to see an example.

At the morning walk-in surgery, you can register and be seen at the same visit.

• You can download a registration form from this website by clicking here.
  Don't forget to sign it at the bottom of the front page. Your previous address and previous GP details are useful to us for getting your old notes forwarded - so please don't overlook these sections.
• Enclose a photocopy of your ID and Proof of Address.
• Your previous medical card is also useful to us, but not essential.

You should receive a new medical card through the post from the Health Authority in around 6 weeks. Simple as that.

Generally, you can only have one NHS GP, but if you are staying away from home temporarily and don't wish to register permanently, you can still be seen as a temporary patient. (ID and Proof of Address not required).

Please address any complaints you may have to Dr Matthewman in the first instance. Further advice available from:
