Pharmacy & Self-Care

Pharmacy

Pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals who can offer clinical advice, over the counter medicines and their use, 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.

Urgent appointments for today or tomorrow

If you feel that your problem is urgent, you should tell the receptionist and every effort will be made for you to be seen the same day.

If the doctor needs to see you in person or you would prefer a face-to-face appointment, we will invite you to come in.

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.

Home Visits

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls.

Telephone: 020 7456 9820

You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP.

Change or Cancel an Appointment

Please help us to help you by always cancelling appointments when you can’t attend! Our cancellation line is 020 7456 9820. Please put it in your mobile phone! We can always use the appointment for someone else.

Thinking about getting your children vaccinated?

At our GP surgery, we believe that childhood immunisations are one of the most important and effective ways to protect your child's health and wellbeing.

Immunisations are designed to protect your child against a range of serious and potentially life-threatening diseases, such as measles, mumps, rubella, polio, and meningitis. By vaccinating your child, you not only protect them from these diseases but also contribute to the overall health and safety of the wider community.

Please see our Childhood Vaccinations page for more detailed information.
