Appointments

 

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.

Pharmacy and Self Care

Pharmacy

Pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals who can offer clinical advice, over the counter medicines to effectively and safely manage a range of minor health concerns. They can also help you to decide whether you'll need to see a doctor. You don't need an appointment and you won't even be asked to make a purchase. Every pharmacy also has a private consultation area for you to talk about your symptoms in private if you prefer.

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.

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.

Home Visits

Home visits should be regarded as a service for the genuinely housebound or seriously ill.

Home visiting takes up a great deal of doctor time and we do ask patients to attend the surgery wherever possible as facilities are better for examination and treatment.

In most cases the clinician will call before the home visit in order to let the patient know a rough time they will attend and make sure that the home visit is appropriate.

Visit Klinik to request a home visit

Or call the practice if you are permanently or temporarily housebound and require a home visit.

How to Cancel an Appointment

If you are unable to keep your appointment, please give us as much notice as possible so that your appointment can be offered to someone else.

Can cancel your appointment using Klinik or The NHS App. Alternatively call reception on 020 8662 1233.

We understand that very occasionally that there may be mix-ups or communication errors in providing patients appointments. However, booking appointments and not attending without informing the practice (DNAs) means that someone else who may desperately need an appointment is denied medical care. We do not feel that this is acceptable behaviour from patients. Not only is this costly to the NHS but this is also detrimental to the health of our other patients.

Chaperones

You are very welcome to be accompanied by a trusted friend or relative at your consultation if you wish.
