Appointments

 

If you have a potentially life threatening emergency (chest pain, severe shortness of breath) then please call 999. 

For non-urgent issues, please follow the guidelines below and choose the right service. An appointment may not be necessary.

This will help us to be more efficient by making an appointment available to you when you need it the most.

Sickness Certificates (Fit Notes)

You must give your employer a doctor's 'fit note' (sometimes called a 'sick note') if you've been ill for more than 7 days in a row and have taken sick leave. This includes non-working days, such as weekends and bank holidays.

Visit our Sickness Certificates page

Travel Vaccinations

Please check if you need any immunisations by using the Fit For Travel website or the NaTHNaC website.  Please then visit our Travel Information page, if NHS vaccines are indicated then complete a Travel Information page. A GP will review your form and request, usually within five working days. If vaccinations are required, the GP will confirm this and authorise you to book an appointment with a nurse for your immunisations.’

Book a Routine Appointment

We offer a choice of face to face, telephone, video consultations and online consultations via econsult.

Ways to book:

Please note: face-to-face appointments are only available via online services (NHS app or website or via online services). You can covert these to telephone appointments by speaking to us.

We encourage you to book a face-to-face appointment where an examination may be needed such as pain, rashes or lumps. If you do book the appointment as a telephone consultation you will need to be available to come in at short notice during the same GP’s clinic for an examination if required. If this is not going to be possible, please book an alternative appointment. 

If you need longer than a routine appointment of 10 minutes, please call reception to arrange a double appointment (if available).

If you have a face-to-face appointment and have a highly infectious disease such as measles of monkeypox please contact the practice to reschedule your appointment or switch to another mode of consultation (i.e telephone or video consultation) and after your initial assessment, we can bring you in for a face-to-face appointment if required.

Urgent Appointments for Today or Tomorrow (Monday to Friday)

A good proportion of our appointments are released ‘on the day’ to allow us to deal with your urgent issues.

If you feel your issue needs dealing with on the same day please call us on 0207 431 1588 as soon as possible after 8.30am to ensure you can get one of these appointments.

These can also be booked online via the NHS App and Patient Access

Children Urgent Appointments

Often children feel or become unwell at school, which prompts a call to the parents. Your child may be suffering from a self-limiting illness which is best managed at home such as coughs, cold, fever, sore throat and tummy ache. Schools have a duty to inform parents when a child is unwell so they may be collected and looked after at home.

If you have been contacted by the school that your child is unwell, please consider the urgency of the situation and make your own assessment as to if, and how soon they need to be seen by a health professional. Please consider the usual self-management information available on NHS website or from your local pharmacy such as paracetamol and ibuprofen for fever and pain.

If you feel that your child needs to be seen by a GP then please book a face to face appointment as usual so your child can have a physical examination.

When your child visits the doctor a legal guardian/ parent must be present. This is because only parents and/or legal guardians are able to give consent for their children (up to age 18) for examinations and treatments. In particular, this applies to vaccinations where we need a guardian/parent to be present to consent. A note given to a carer/nanny is not considered to be valid informed consent for vaccinations. 

Home Visits

Please call in prior to 10am if you feel you may require a home visit for that day. After 6pm please call 111. You will be called prior to any visit by the Duty Doctor to discuss your condition.

Physicians Assistants

We have 2 Physician Assistants who work alongside the GPs and are always supported by an experienced GP. They can see patients aged 16 years and over for certain conditions, and take an initial history and request investigations for common conditions. The 2 female PA's (Breshna and Stelina) can see womens health issues such as period issues, Polycystic Ovaries, contraception and infections).

Please only book with them if your condition is on the following list:

  • Abdominal pain – initial history taking and investigations

While PAs are a key part of our care team, there are a few things they currently don’t do:

  • See any Children under the age of 16
  • Work unsupervised, they will always have a daily supervising GP available to support who will also approve any prescriptions advised by them.
  • See patients with more complex issues including mental health and HRT

You need to speak to us to Pre-book these face to face appointments with the Physician Assistants. If your problem is outside of their scope of practice they will take a history and discuss with a senior GP. You may be asked to come in again to see a GP.
