Once you submit your PATCH, it will be seen by a healthcare professional, who will allocate a member of our clinical team to deal with your issue. This healthcare professional may call you or want to see you in person.
Occasionally, with the information you provide, we may be able to directly send medication to your pharmacy, order tests or make referrals.
If we require more information from you, we may reply to your PATCH with more specific questions.
🡢 What if I need help when you are closed?
If you need medical help now, use NHS 111 online or call 111.

Appointments by phone can be more flexible and often means you get help sooner.
🡢What are Additional Access hubs?
Patients contacting us with acute medical needs can now be referred to five Additional Access hubs. It means that the patient will have a face-to-face appointment on the same or next day (depending on booking time).
These hubs take place in different GP Practices across your local area, including within our practice: Paddington Green Health Centre, Lisson Grove Health Centre, St Johns Wood Medical Practice, Marylebone Health Centre and the South Westminster Centre. Patients will be seen by a GP or Advanced Nurse Practitioner.
Appointments will be triaged by our team based on need via the usual methods for booking an appointment. You do not have to accept an appointment at one of the Additional Access hubs.
🡢 Home visits
Whenever possible we ask you to come to the surgery for appointments as we have full access to your records and to treatment facilities. You can usually be seen sooner if you can come to the surgery as we can see three or four patients in the surgery in the time it takes to do one home visit.
If you are too unwell to come in please try to phone before 11:00am. If you are unsure whether you need a visit, reception can arrange for you to get advice from one of the doctors. If the doctor feels your problem would be appropriately dealt with in the surgery then you will be offered an appointment and the home visit request declined.
Please note that the timing of a visit cannot be guaranteed.
