Clinics
ADHD and Neurodiversity
We are happy to consult with and advise patients who would like an assessment for possible ADHD, autism or other forms of neurodiversity. If appropriate, we can refer patients for specialist assessment through the NHS Right to Choose pathway, which may offer shorter waiting times than local NHS services.
Where a diagnosis of ADHD is made and medication is recommended by the specialist team, we are happy to consider prescribing under a shared care agreement with the Right to Choose provider, where this is clinically appropriate and the necessary shared care arrangements are in place.
If you think you may have ADHD, autism or another neurodevelopmental condition, please book an appointment with one of our GPs to discuss your symptoms and the assessment options available.
Blood Tests
Currently all routine blood tests can be booked at the Whittington Hospital or at a number of local Islington clinics.
Cervical Smears
Cervical smears are offered every three years to all women aged 25-49 years, and every 5 years for those aged 50-64 years. Please book an appointment with our Practice Nurses.
Child Health and Immunisations
Our Practice Nurses are able to offer immunisations, including child health immunisations, and adult immunisations such as shingles, pneumonia and flu. We do not provide COVID jabs.
We also undertake baby six week health checks which includes a doctor being present. Please ensure that you bring the baby's red book with you to all clinics. Immunisations cannot be given without the red book.
Further advice and support:
Contraception
The doctors and nurses provide a wide range of sexual health advice and screening which includes:
- Providing contraception, including fitting of coils and implants
- Free condoms (ask at reception)
If you need emergency contraception, please call the surgery and we can arrange to provide this.
All services are strictly confidential.
Covid Vaccination
Interpreters
- We can arrange for an interpreter to be present for your routine GP or nurse appointment for patients whose first language is not English.
- Please let us know if you need this service when booking an appointment.
- The service is not usually available for urgent appointments, but we can use a secure telephone interpreting service for urgent care if needed.
LGBTQ+ Friendly Services
We are passionate about ensuring that all our patients, regardless of their race, culture, gender identity or sexual orientation, receive inclusive, respectful and high-quality healthcare. We are committed to providing a welcoming environment where everyone feels listened to, supported and able to access the care they need.
We are proud to have been awarded the Gold Pride in Practice award by the LGBT Foundation, recognising our commitment to providing high-quality, inclusive healthcare for LGBTQ+ patients.
Long Term Conditions Care e.g. asthma/diabetes/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
The doctors, nurses and pharmacists work together for patients to provide care for patients with chronic disease. This includes regular annual check-ups.
Measure Your Own Blood Pressure
We have a machine in reception that you are welcome to pop in and use anytime to measure your own blood pressure. It is very easy to use. It will tell you if your blood pressure is abnormal. It can also check your weight and can ask you some health screening questions.
Menopause, Perimenopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
We are happy to see patients who are experiencing symptoms of the menopause or perimenopause, or who are unsure whether their symptoms may be related to hormonal changes. We understand that symptoms can vary widely and can have a significant impact on quality of life.
We offer personalised advice on all available treatment options, including lifestyle measures, non-hormonal treatments and the different types of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Where HRT is appropriate, we take a shared decision-making approach to discuss the potential benefits and risks, helping you decide whether it is the right and safest treatment option for you. We are happy to prescribe HRT when it is clinically indicated and appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Men's Health
We provide assessment, advice and treatment for a wide range of men's health concerns. Our GPs are happy to help with sexual health problems, erectile dysfunction, urinary symptoms such as difficulty passing urine, concerns about an enlarged prostate, and concerns about prostate cancer. We offer confidential, personalised care and can arrange any necessary investigations or referrals where appropriate.
Mental Health Services
Supporting patients with their mental health is a key part of the care we provide. We understand that mental health is just as important as physical health, and we are here to help with a wide range of concerns, from stress, anxiety and low mood to more complex mental health conditions.
Our GPs, nurses and clinical pharmacists all play a role in supporting patients with their mental health. We also work closely with a network of local mental health services, including counselling, psychological therapies and specialist psychiatry services, to provide coordinated, holistic care tailored to each patient's needs.
NHS Health Checks
We offer free NHS Health Checks for eligible adults aged 40 to 74. These checks are designed to identify common health conditions at an early stage, including high blood pressure, diabetes and raised cholesterol, helping to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and other long-term health problems.
If you are eligible and would like a free NHS Health Check, please contact the surgery to book an appointment.
Online Access to Medical Records
We believe that giving patients, and where appropriate their families or carers, secure online access to their medical records helps people become more involved in their healthcare and better able to manage their health. Having access to your health information can improve understanding, support shared decision-making, and help you feel more informed and in control of your care.
We are committed to providing online access to medical records whenever it is safe, appropriate and in accordance with data protection legislation and NHS guidance, including the UK GDPR. Access is provided with careful consideration of patient confidentiality and individual circumstances.
Online / Telephone / Video Appointments
We appreciate that people are busy and that it is not always convenient to attend the surgery in person. Whenever it is clinically appropriate, we are happy to provide online appointments, telephone appointments and video consultations, allowing many health concerns to be assessed remotely.
Patients can contact us through our eConsult online consultation service, which enables you to submit your symptoms or request at a time that suits you. Where appropriate, your GP can then arrange an online appointment, telephone appointment or video consultation, helping you access care in the way that best meets your needs.
For many conditions, we can also communicate with you by secure email and text message, including the secure, confidential exchange of photographs where appropriate. This means you can read and respond to messages at a time that is convenient for you, rather than waiting for a specific face-to-face, telephone or video appointment.
Pharmacist
We have practice based pharmacists who can see patients for medication reviews and support for patients with long term conditions.
Physiotherapy
Our in-house First Contact Physiotherapist can assess, diagnose and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, such as back pain and joint pain. They are able to arrange appropriate investigations, including blood tests and scans where indicated, and work closely with the GPs to recommend appropriate medications and other treatment options.
Prevention of Long Term Health Conditions (NHS Health Checks)
We offer NHS health checks for the over 45s, and prevention health checks for patients at risk of certain long term conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and COPD.
Sexual Health Services
We provide confidential advice and care for a wide range of sexual health concerns. Our clinicians can offer sexual health advice, sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing, and sexual health screening where appropriate.
In some situations, we may recommend that you attend a specialist sexual health or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic, where additional tests, treatments or expertise may be available. However, many sexual health concerns can be assessed and managed at our GP surgery, and we will always advise you on the most appropriate service for your individual needs.
Smoking Cessation Clinics
Please make an appointment to see one of our smoking cessation advisors for help with giving up smoking.
Alternatively, you can see your local pharmacist, or find other NHS support services to stop smoking.
Social Prescriber
A social prescriber is a professional who works in primary care and helps patients access activities, groups, and services in their community to meet the practical, social, and emotional needs that affect their health and wellbeing. We have a weekly social prescriber clinic at the practice which is run by Help on our Doorstep.
Travel Clinic
We provide a full travel clinic service. See our travel information page for more details.
Weight Management Services
We understand that managing weight can be challenging, and we are happy to support patients who would like help to improve their health. We can offer advice on healthy lifestyle changes and, where appropriate, refer patients to local NHS weight management services, including programmes that provide dietary, lifestyle and physical activity support.
We keep up to date with the latest NHS guidance on weight loss medications, including injections and tablets. Access to these treatments is currently limited by specific local NHS eligibility criteria, which at present are mainly limited to people living with diabetes. As NHS access expands over the coming years, we will be pleased to support eligible patients with weight loss treatments where they meet the criteria and it is safe and clinically appropriate to do so.
Women's Health
We provide a comprehensive range of women's health services for patients of all ages. Our experienced GPs and nursing team offer cervical screening (smear tests), sexual health advice and screening, fertility and pre-conception advice, and support with all forms of contraception, including long-acting reversible contraception where appropriate.
We also provide assessment and treatment for symptoms of the menopause and perimenopause, helping you understand your options and develop a personalised treatment plan.
