When We Are Closed
Our out of hours service number on 0207 388 5800 This service is for emergencies only and you

doctor depending on the urgency of the case
NHS Direct
In the case of urgent need when the practice is closed you can call NHS Direct
(www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/) (0845 4647) to speak to a triage nurse. Your needs will be assessed and
advice offered or arrangements made for you to see a doctor.
Please do not ask to see a doctor out of hours unless you genuinely cannot wait until the surgery
re-opens.
Call 999 in an emergency. Chest pains and / or shortness of breath constitute an
emergency.
Appointments
The appointment number is - 020 7272 4323. Please call between 8.45am – 1pm or 2pm-6pm
(closed from 12pm Wednesday).


We offer morning and afternoon surgeries and will do our best to offer you the most
convenient time and the earliest available appointment.
If you cannot keep an appointment please telephone us as this frees up the appointment
for someone else, patients who repeatedly miss appointments without cancelling will be
removed from our list.
Preference of practitioner
We will endeavour to arrange your appointment with a doctor/health practitioner of your choice.
However, in the interests of expediency and safe medical care, it may be necessary for your
appointment to be arranged with another doctor/health practitioner. You will have the choice.
Nurse Clinics
The highly skilled Practice Nurse provides chronic disease management, family planning, sexual
health, vaccinations and immunisations, cervical smears and other services. If you are not certain
whether the service you require can be performed by our nurses, please check with the reception
staff.
Please be prepared to give reception staff the details of the reason for your visit as the time taken
for different tasks can vary. Without such information we cannot operate an efficient system and
keep waiting times to a minimum.
Reception
The receptionists will assist you in making emergency and routine appointments and offer help
and assistance at all times. It is a legal requirement that confidentiality of patients’ records is
maintained at the highest level by all staff. Their job can be very demanding – please help them
to help you.
Home Visits
If possible please try to telephone reception before 10am if you require a home visit.
A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by
telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a
hospital attendance.
House visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.
Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make
one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Health
Centre.
Access and Parking
There is no car parking space available.
Disabled access
Whilst we make every effort to provide easy access to all members of the community, due to the
restrictions of our converted premises, we regret there is no wheelchair access to the building.
Patient services are provided on the ground floor and a disabled WC is provided.
Repeat Prescriptions
Please write your name and address on your request for a repeat prescription and either post it to
us or bring it into reception, use the tear off slip whenever possible.
If you provide a stamped addressed envelope we will forward your prescription to you.
Alternatively you may collect it from reception but please allow at least 48 hours. Please allow
extra time for weekends and bank holidays.
In the interests of safety, prescriptions cannot be requested by telephone.
You can also submit your request online via the form on this page.
Sometimes you may be asked to come in and see your GP before a prescription can be issued.
Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions
Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying
charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).
The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought
it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription
prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.
NHS charges
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales
prescriptions are free of charge.



Prescription (per item): £7.40
12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £104.00
3-month PPC: £29.10
If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 14 items
in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.

Any problems please telephone the surgery.
