Home visits

Calls to our number are charged at the local rate if using a BT landline.
We ask that patients check with their provider if using another network as call costs can vary and may cost considerably more from a mobile phone.

Doctor preference: Patients have the right to choose which GP they see however we are unable to guarantee that a particular GP will be available when required and if not we will endeavour to provide a suitable appointment with another GP.

All registered patients can request an appointment with a GP or a nurse irrespective of when they last attended the practice. The practice regrets that we do not offer a walk-in service and advise patients to contact the practice before attending. To book an appointment please call 020 8299 1234 or call in to make an appointment.

Appointments for GPs and nurses last 10 minutes. Double appointments are available on request if you have more than one concern. Please specify it to the receptionist, if you book an urgent appointment or send an Accurx enquiry.
