Telephone consultations

We offer telephone consultations. These are for patients who feel that their problem can be dealt with, without having to see a doctor face to face.

Don’t forget, our practice nurses are also happy to give you advice over the telephone.

To minimise disruption to the surgery please ring for non-urgent advice and test results between 12pm and 2pm on 020 8542 2827.

However you choose to contact us, we may offer you a consultation:

  • by phone
  • face to face at the surgery
  • on a video call
  • by text or email

Appointments by phone, video call or by text or email can be more flexible and often means you get help sooner.

Home visits

If you are too ill to come to surgery please telephone 020 8542 2827 between 8:30am and 10am.

If you are seeking a home visit from your GP please be aware of the following:

  • Home visits are very time consuming.
  • In the time it takes to visit one patient at your home, your GP can see several patients at the surgery.
  • Home visits restrict the range of examinations that can be carried out by the GP.

A GP home visit is recommended as the best way of giving medical opinion in cases involving: the terminally ill; patients dying of cancer; the truly housebound for whom travel to the surgery would cause deterioration in their medical condition.
