‘We are General Practice’ Campaign

NHS North West London in partnership with local GP practices has launched a new campaign to explain how general practice is changing and why you may see a different clinical expert when you come here for your appointment in future – depending on your need.

Watch our video to see how practices such as ourselves are working as a team of medical experts and support staff, led and supervised by the GP, to better support you.

In our practice, as well as GPs, we also have specialists such as Pharmacists, Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANP), Social Prescribers, Care Coordinators, Care Navigators and a Dietitician.  We will always make sure you see the right person for your needs.

There are currently high rates of Group A strep and scarlet fever in the UK. Scarlet fever, which is caused by the bacteria Group A streptococcus, is usually a mild illness but it is highly infectious. Scarlet fever is much more common in children than in adults and it is important that children with scarlet fever are seen by a healthcare professional so that they can be started on antibiotics.

The Enhanced Access Hubs are services managed by the Federation. They enable patients to see a variety of clinicians outside of core service hours. Patients can book appointments between 18.30 and 20.00 Monday to Friday and 8:00am to 14:00pm on Saturdays. Appointments are offered at a choice of two hubs, one located in the north of the borough and one in the south.
