How to See a Doctor or Nurse
Patients may be seen in several ways:
In Person
The great majority of our patients attend our daily open access clinics which run all the time when we are open. (Please see our opening hours.) Patients attending will be seen on the day. Please come to the surgery and book in with the receptionist.
By Phone
Patients can also consult a doctor or nurse by telephone. Please call reception on 0207 222 8593. The receptionist will take your details (please remember your phone number!) and a doctor or nurse will call you back as soon as reasonably possible..
Online
Patients who have registered for this service can book appointments in advance using online services.
Book an appointment using the NHS e-Referral Service
If you have been referred to a hospital or clinic through the NHS e-Referral Service, booking your appointment online is easy, safe and secure.
You’ll need:
- the booking reference number stated on your booking letter
- the password or access code you were given by the person or organisation that referred you (for example, your GP practice)
If you have been referred but don’t have your booking reference number or a password or access code, please contact the person or organisation that referred you.
Please visit this link for how to:
- check your appointment details
- change your appointment
- cancel your appointment
- cancel your referral
For more information, read about what happens when you’re referred.
How to choose your hospital or clinic
In some cases you’ll have more than 1 clinic or hospital to choose from. The list of options will be the same if you book online or over the phone.
Before you select your clinic and appointment slot, consider all the options.
For example:
- How long do I have to wait for my first appointment?
- How quickly can I start my treatment?
- How far away is the hospital or clinic?
In most cases you have the legal right to choose the hospital or service you’d like to go to.
This will include many private hospitals, as long as they provide services to the NHS.

What to do if you haven’t been referred yet
If you want to be seen at a hospital or clinic, you’ll need to speak to your GP.
They’ll help you decide what care is best for you and make any necessary referrals.
