Appointments

Non-urgent advice: Making an Appointment

Appointments can be booked online or by calling the reception team on 020 7835 0400. There are both face to face and telephone appointments available, which can usually be booked up to 4-weeks in advance.

If your request is urgent, please telephone at 8.30am for an urgent morning appointment, or at 2.30pm for an urgent afternoon appointment.

A doctor will call you back, usually within the hour, to discuss your health needs and advise accordingly.

Many urgent problems can be addressed via telephone, but should you or the doctor feel it necessary, there will also be capacity for you to be invited in for a same-day face-to-face consultation.

Non-urgent advice: Making an appointment with a nurse, pharmacist, or healthcare assistant:

Please call us and speak to our reception team on 020 7835 0400. In order to book you into an appropriate slot, the receptionist may need to ask you what the appointment is for.

Non-urgent advice: How to Cancel an Appointment

If you are unable to attend your appointment for any reason, or the health problem for which you booked your appointment has cleared up, please remember to cancel your appointment.  Even cancelling your appointment with 10 minutes’ notice will enable us to see other patients in need.

We have a large number of people who do not attend their appointments every single week leading to wasted doctor and nurse time, leading to delays in you being able to get an appointment.

You can use our online system, call us on 020 7835 0400 or come in and speak to Reception.

On average there are 60 missed appointments per month.

Please let us know well in advance if you cannot make your appointment so that it may be allocated to another patient.
