The role of our Community Midwives is to look after our pregnant women and babies throughout the antenatal period, during labour and birth, and for up to 28 days after the baby has been born. Regular Antenatal Clinics are run from various locations in the community.

Just found out you’re pregnant…you can self-refer to the antenatic clinic:

The community nursing team delivers skilled nursing care in people’s homes. They are in contact with the GPs and come into surgery on a regular basis.

We have an experienced practice nurse who works on Thursdays. The practice nurse provides care for patients with minor conditions and chronic diseases. Some of the services they provide are:

• Asthma checks & advice
• Blood pressure monitoring
• Dressings & wound care
• Diabetic annual check & advice
• Dietary advice
• Immunisations – childhood, adults and travel immunisations
• Removal of Stitches
• New patient checks
• Smoking Cessation Advice
• Smear tests
• We are a Yellow Fever designated centre – Both doctors administer Yellow Fever vaccinations ( a fee is charged for this service)
• Weight Loss Advice
• Well Woman / Well Man

Home visits can be arranged if your illness prevents you from attending either the surgery during the day or the Hub Centre in the evening. We ask that you telephone 020 8599 7151 before 10.30am to request a home visit.

Our GPs are available to assess, diagnose, treat and manage illness as well as provide links to further health services such as hospital admissions and referrals to specialists. The appointment time given for a GP consultation is usually 10 minutes, although it can be longer for more complicated reviews and procedures.
