Kingsnorth Medical Practice

Update about software issue that prevents documents from being visible to patients.

We understand that some of our patients may have been unable to view certain documents (e.g. letters from the hospital) when using online services due to a software problem. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. We are pleased to inform you that this issue has been resolved; any new documents added to your electronic GP health records will be visible and it may take up to a month for older, affected documents to become visible.  

Your GP team will have been able to access the letters, so your care will not have been affected during this time.

The doctors and staff at Kingsnorth Medical Practice in Ashford, Kent are proud to offer the highest standard of patient-centred healthcare.  

We run many clinics for the management of chronic diseases such as Asthma and Diabetes and offer a wide variety of other medical services including antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery and childhood vaccinations. A full range of the clinics we offer can be found in the 'Services' section.
