Welcome to The Hove Practice.
To join The Hove Practice in order to access our same day General Practitioners or order a COVID-19 RT-PCR or COVID-19 Antibody Test, please register as a patient by clicking "Book Online" above.
This will take you to our Portal start page.
Once here click: "Sign Up" (the blue button) and use the invite code "TheHovePractice" if prompted. Please complete your details and you will then be able to book an appointment. These details must match your travel identification (i.e. passport).
Within your patient portal, on the left side of the page, click “Book Appointment”.
For a certified swab (required for travel and official purposes) please select “COVID 19 PCR Travel”. This is charged at £250. Online payment is required in order to complete the booking.
If you are booking for a group of two or more individuals and would like to arrive at the same time, please let us know (reception@thehovepractice.co.uk).
Please note, our certification verifies your identity and your COVID 19 status. This may be different to a “fit to fly” certificate. If your destination country also requires the latter, this requires an additional appointment with a doctor. You can book this separately online as a face-to-face appointment or call us on 01273 733830.
For a self-swab (if you are concerned you may be suffering from COVID-19) please select “COVID 19 PCR Home Collect From Practice”. Please select any available slot for this test on the day you are making the booking (ignore the timing of the appointment as this is not relevant).
Many of our patients select this option for school or work purposes. Please note your test result paperwork will state that this was an unobserved test.
Self-swab tests are charged at £150. Online payment is required in order to complete the booking.
The swab pack can be collected by an asymptomatic individual (who does not have to self-isolate according to government regulations) from the practice. Please allow two hours for us to prepare the pack and form before attempting collection. Collection is available during our standard opening hours (8.30am - 6.00pm Monday to Friday.)
Alternatively we can arrange for the kit to be posted (first class) to an address of your choice in the United Kingdom. Please select “COVID 19 PCR Home via Post”. By default we will post the kit to the address you have registered with. If you would like it to be sent to a different address please email reception@thehovepractice.co.uk or call 01273 733830 immediately after booking.
For all swab types, before we can perform your swab, you must also complete a registration form, enabling permissions and consenting to our standard terms and conditions. Please also familiarise yourself with our swab instructions. These are available for download in the “Library” section of your patient portal (again located on the left side of the page). “The Hove Practice Patient registration
form and permissions” and “The Hove Practice COVID-19 PCR swab guide”. You will also be emailed these after you have booked your appointment.
We regret that we will not be able to send your swab result until you have completed and signed the relevant paperwork due to the requirements of our laboratory and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Please call or email us at any point throughout the process if you are having any difficulties.
We provide appointments for comprehensive same day and advance private primary care services with excellent General Practitioners at our Private Practice in Hove. Emergencies, however, should be managed in the National Health Service by calling 999 or attending your local Accident & Emergency department. For non-emergencies outside of our staffed hours please dial 111, visit https://111.nhs.uk or attend an NHS walk-in-centre. In Brighton, this is located near the station: Brighton Station Health Centre (practiceplusbrightonstation.nhs.uk)
