Appointments System

We offer patients many appointments and our aim is to ensure they are allocated the appropriate type of appointment to suit their medical needs. You can request for a same day urgent appointment or a pre-bookable telephone appointment within 2-3 weeks. 

Telephone appointments are available to be booked on weekdays from 8am.  Please call the practice on 020 7834 6969 to book your appointment the same day. We are unable to guarantee the GP of your choice.

If the GP feels you need to be seen face to face the Doctor will discuss this with you and book an appointment for you at a mutually agreed time. 

We thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation.

Please note we can book routine appointments for the weekend enhanced service managed by the Central London Heathcare Team. If this is convenient and suitable, please inform our administrative team who will kindly book your appointment. Services include GP consultation, nurse appointments, healthcare checks and blood tests.

During the weekends, our administrative email service is unavailable. Non urgent requests will be reviewed within 3 working days.
