Getting the help you need
The NHS in London is very busy as coronavirus infection rates continue to be high, but we’ll help you get urgent care when you need it.
Most consultations are over the phone and via video. This is for everyone's safety.
We will assess your situation and invite you into the practice if needed. We can arrange same-day appointments if you need urgent care but please don't visit without an appointment. Appointments will be held in the best way to keep you safe from Covid.
You can also contact 111, day or night, for other urgent health advice - including if you have concerns about your Covid-19 symptoms.
Please remember that 999 and A&E are for emergencies.
Please help reduce infections, protect the NHS and keep each other safe by following the latest rules.
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Information
Please do not come to the surgery unless invited by us - please call us or message online instead - regardless of wether you have symptoms or not.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 (Coronavirus) situationwe have chaged how we deliver appointments. We are now no longer offering face to face appointments unless a patient has been traged first by a clinician either by phone or online (eConsult). The majority of issues can be dealt with by phone but if you need to be seen our clinicians will organise this. We have also had to stop some routine services at this difficult time.
