To improve access for our Patients we ask that all appointment requests are now made through our 'Contact us online' portal (above).  This will enable our team to ensure patients get to speak to the correct clinician in an appropriate timescale.

Once the morning appointment requests have been triaged by our Duty Doctor patients will either be allocated an Urgent, Routine or another appropriate appointment.  Urgent appointments will be arranged for the same/next day, Routine appointments will be pre-booked on a future date

NHS 111 online is for people aged 5 and over. Call 111 if you need help for a child under 5.

Call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency. This is when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.

Please tell us:

• if there’s a specific doctor, nurse or other health professional you would prefer to respond
• if you would prefer to consult with the doctor or nurse by phone, face-to-face, by video call or by text or email
• if you need an interpreter
• if you have any other access or communication needs

Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by submitting an online request or calling reception before 10am. If the problem is urgent please tell the receptionist.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls.  In most cases the GP will call you first before a home visit is arranged.

You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.

GP Registrars

In addition to the regular team there are fully qualified doctors who join us for general practice training. They come to work in the practice having spent a number of years in hospital medicine before becoming a fully independent GP.

Medical Students

For short periods throughout each year we train medical students from Bart’s and The London Medical School. You may be asked to see a final year medical student before seeing your doctor but you have the right to refuse if you are unhappy with this.
