Same day requests for appointments

All requests for same day ‘urgent’ appointments will be  triaged. .  When a patient telephones the surgery and requests to be seen on an urgent basis the reception staff will ask for enough detail from you about the basic nature of your problem. This process will apply to urgent requests whether the patient has attended in person at the surgery or telephoned the practice. You can contact the practice from 9 am till 10.30 am or from 3 pm till 4 pm for a same day request for an appointment. 

Advance Bookable Appointments

You will be able to make an appointment to see a doctor or nurse up to 4 weeks in advance. You can make an appointment in person or via the telephone. If you wish to see a specific doctor, please mention this to the Receptionist. Please note that doctor appointments are booked at 10 minute intervals. If you have more than one problem, would you please ensure that you request a double appointment.

Home Visits

If possible please try to telephone reception before 10am if you require a home visit.

A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.

House visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.

Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Health Centre.

ISLINGTON IHUB -  EVENING AND WEEKEND APPOINTMENTS!!

Islington iHUB offers increased access to GPs for patients registered at any Islington practice.

There are several iHUB locations in Islington. Registered patients are now able to book appointments with Islington doctors and nurses at an Islington GP hub when the practice is closed. Simply ask a receptionist for an iHUB appointment and they will try to offer you one that is both convenient for you and that also suits your health needs.

Islington GP hubs are open between 6.30pm and 8.00pm each weekday and from 8.00am to 8.00pm at the weekend.

If we are closed you can call the usual surgery number between 6.30pm to 8.00pm Mondays to Fridays and 8.00am to 8.00pm on Saturdays and Sundays and your call will be answered by iHUB staff, who will be able to assist you. These appointments are available for routine appointments and do not need to be urgent requests.

You can also book iHUB appointments by calling the surgery during normal opening hours and you can book appointments at our surgery in normal hours by calling iHUB via the surgery number between 6:30 & 8pm on weekdays or 8am to 8pm at weekends.

If you book an appointment, the doctor or nurse may, only with your consent, view your GP held medical records, on that occasion only, in order to provide you with the best care.
