But for those using other providers - please please switch to the nhs app! It really helps us help you!

An online form – on their website or in the NHS App - is a quick and easy way for you to send your non-urgent symptoms and requests to your GP practice.

OUTSTANDING!!!!

We are absolutely delighted to announce that our latest CQC report gave us an overall GOOD but importantly an OUTSTANDING in responsiveness!!!

This is a true reflection of how our team really
care for our patients. I could not be prouder to be part of such a committed group of people .
An outstanding is incredibly hard to achieve (only one other practice in Havering has historically managed the same).

Another thank you to our patients who we work in partnership with and allow us to love our jobs as much as we do.
