News:

 

Thank you for tolerating the disruption caused by our recent building work. The work to install a new lift, renovated patient toilets and four new upstairs consulting rooms is nearly complete.

Dr Iona Heath retired from the practice in January of this year. We will all miss her hugely and wish her well in her new role as President of the Royal College of General Practitioners.

We are continuing our attempts at improving access to our appointments.

In order to improve your access to a GP, we will now be offerring routine appointments from 7.30am on some mornings and from 9am to 12am on some Saturday mornings. 

Help us to keep your clinical record up to date. Please click on the "clinical record" link at the bottom of this page to update us.

Our new "self check area" is now open. Appointments are no longer needed for routine BP checks. We now have a dedicated area in the waiting room eqipped with state of the art electronic equipment with which to measure your own BP.  Receptionists will be on hand to assist you.  Height and weight can also be checked.

The Minor AilmenScheme can enable you to get prompt treatment for a range of minor health problems. For further details see the link under Practice Information.

Clinical Assessement Service

A New Referring Service for Camden.

keyboard_stethoscopeGPs. in Camden have come together to form the Camden Clinical Assessment Service.  The service has been set up to assess each referral recommendation (by either your GP, a hospital consultant or your dentist) against treatment options available.  These options may include a referral to hospital, a referral to a consultant clinic in the community or treatment offerred at a local GP Practice.  The aim of the service is to ensure that you receive the best possible response to your care needs. 

Following a decision by one of the doctors in this practice to refer you for specialist care - the first step in the process is an assessment of the different options available to ensure you get the most appropriate treatment.  You will then be contacted by Camden Clinical Assessment Service directly in order to discuss with you the options for treatement and to arrange an appointment.  You will be offerred a choice of options and appointment times unless you have already agreed a particular specialist or hospital with your GP, prior to the referral being made. 

This new service will use the Choose and Book service in order to enable access to a wide variety of hospitals and services an allow appointments to be made at times and places that suit you.

The Clinical Assessment Service is likley to contact you by telephone within 3 weeks from the date of the initial referral being made.  It is therefore vital to ensure that your GP has details of your up to date telephone numbers (and mobile number if you wish).
