			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>St John’s Therapy Centre is the base for various specialist teams providing rehabilitation and therapy services to Wandsworth residents at home, in other community settings and at the centre itself – services for which our doctors at Thurleigh Road can refer you.</p>
<p>The majority of our Podiatry referrals and a number of our Physiotherapy referrals are sent here.</p>
<p>St John’s Therapy Centre also now also hosts consultant-led Gastroenterology, Dermatology, Colorectal and ENT clinics.  These are clinics that would normally be held at St George’s Hospital – think of St John’s as a new ‘wing’ – but with the same in-depth level of care provided in the community setting instead.</p>
<p>St John’s is also one of the locations you can attend for walk-in blood tests and X-rays.  All you need to do is ask one of our receptionists for an X-Ray or Blood Request form, in person or over the phone.  They will fill in all of your details and hand it to a doctor to sign.  You can then pop into the surgery the next day, pick up your completed form and nip straight to St John’s!</p>
<p><strong>Opening Times</strong></p>
<p>Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whilst we now provide access to our GPs and Nurses for 12 hours every weekday, we understand better than anyone that medical problems and emergencies do not always conform to this schedule.  For those matters that arise outside of our opening hours, we would encourage our patients to make use of the many and varied out-of-hours resources provided by NHS Wandsworth:</p>
<p>For life threatening emergencies, always <strong>call 999</strong> and ask for an ambulance immediately.</p>
<p>For serious incidents and traumas, for example, suspected fractures, head injuries, traffic accidents or significant burns, we would advise attending a local Accident &amp; Emergency department.  <a href="http://www.wandsworth-pct.nhs.uk/health/default.asp#emergencies" target="_blank">A list of local A&amp;E departments can be found here</a>.  St George’s Hospital is the closest A&amp;E department to Thurleigh Road.</p>
<p>For minor injuries and illnesses (colds, infections, sprains, cuts etc.) there are <a href="http://www.thurleighroadpractice.co.uk/local-healthcare/local-walk-in-clinics/">walk-in clinics</a> that provide treatment and medication.  In some cases, patients who attend walk-in clinics with sufficiently urgent problems will be transferred directly from the walk-in clinics to hospital, bypassing A&amp;E.</p>
<p>There are other national resources such as the <a href="http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk" target="_blank">NHS Direct</a> and <a href="http://www.patient.co.uk/index.asp" target="_blank">Patient UK</a> websites, both of which contain a wealth of information regarding symptoms, medications and treatment.</p>
<p>NHS Direct also offers a 24-hour, Nurse-led advice line on<strong>:<br />
0845 46 47.</strong></p>
