Road works on West Barnes Lane

There are currently road works on West Barnes Lane between the surgery and the West Barnes Lane / Burlington Road level crossing. Cars are unable to pass the road works. Please allow extra time to make your journey. You may find it easier to approach the surgery from Crossway and Motspur Park.

Early morning and late evening appointments

We conducted a Patient Survey last year. One of the views expressed was that some people would like to be seen at the surgery outside of the traditional normal working hours.

We have set up some extra clinics in response to this. Extra appointments will be made available on Thursday mornings from 7.30 to 8am and on Friday evenings from 6.30 to 8.40pm. These can be booked in the normal way- contact Reception in person or by phone (020 8336 1773) or book an appointment through this website by using the “Online” link from this page.
