Urgent appointments
Urgent but not life-threatening
If you become unwell and need to see a doctor urgently:
- You can phone the surgery on 0207 703 9271 to either speak to a doctor.
- We will not be able to guarantee that you see your usual doctor but we will try to ensure you see one of the doctors or our nurse team (if appropriate) that day.
- You can also come in person and arrange an appointment.
- You may be able to see or speak to one of our doctors during the surgery opening hours
Please note that although the surgery remains open all day, our doctors and nurses are not in the building throughout the whole day.

Most pharmacies have a private room. This means you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.
