A different speaker will attend each weekly session – some will be more discussion based, others will involve a bit of practical work and we hope that all will be productive and informative!

Refreshments will be provided, and we would encourage you to bring your newborn along.

Gap years and sabbaticals usually require more detailed immunisation programmes. We would recommend you consult a practice nurse at least 6 weeks before your trip.

The surgery is an authorised yellow fever centre and provides a full range of travel requirements. Any charges that apply for immunisations compare favourably with other private travel clinics.

We would thoroughly recommend that all patients planning to travel outside the EU visit the NHS Fit for Travel site – it contains a huge amount of useful information on immunisations and healthcare abroad.

Some providers will need the form to be completed before they will agree to fund your private treatment, others will accept forms after treatment has taken place – please check your cover with the insurers before seeing your specialist to avoid any confusion.

Your provider will usually issue you with the claim form directly. It should then be forwarded, with a covering letter, to Julian Sula in our administrative team.

Completion of these forms can be time consuming, usually involves reading your entire medical record and carries a considerable responsibility. Like most practices, we therefore charge an administrative fee of £38 for this non-NHS work, payable as the forms are dropped off. This fee may or may not be covered by your provider.

We will acknowledge all complaints within 3 working days. This acknowledgment will include an offer of a discussion to decide upon a plan of investigation – either in the form of a meeting or a telephone call.

We would also advise you to download and read the Complaints Procedure Leaflet below so that you know what to expect from the complaints process.

Hard copies of the leaflet are available from reception.

We do have a larger area to which existing patients can move and remain registered at this practice. Details are available at reception. This has been revised and approved by the PCT.

If you are looking for a NHS General Practitioner and are not living within our catchment area, you can access a list of local GPs via the following:

Wandsworth ‘find-a-doctor’ line – 020 8335 1330

NHS Direct – 0845 601 8803

NHS Choices website http://www.nhs.uk

To register at Thurleigh Road, first check that you live on one of the roads listed in the Catchment Area.

If you do, you will then need to bring proof of address in the form of a recent utility bill, tenancy agreement or similar, and photographic ID (passport or driver’s license), to reception. Mobile phone bills and bank statements are not accepted as proof of address.

Each patient wishing to register must attend with proof of address and identification in person – unfortunately you cannot bring your spouse’s or children’s identification on their behalf.

A receptionist will then give you a set of New Patient Registration forms and book you a New Patient Health Check (NPHC) with one of our nurses. You take them away, fill them out and bring the completed forms with you to the NPHC. Please note that you will also need to provide your NHS number on the registration form. We will not be able to register you if you fail to provide this.

Just tell the receptionist that you would like cryotherapy performed when you are booking your appointment.

Please note that veruccas and children under 7 are not usually treated by cryotherapy.

You annual review is a chance for ongoing education and support; it is also an opportunity to check a range of blood tests (inc. blood sugar, cholesterol, kidney function), urine tests, blood pressure and weight. We will also ensure that you have attended a retinal screening appointment and help you book an appointment if not. A medication review will be conducted to ensure that your current regime suits you and you will have ample opportunity to raise any concerns you might have about managing your condition in the long term.

The main aim behind the annual review programme is to prevent complications arising from, and to delay the progression of your diabetes.

These monthly clinics are bringing hospital level secondary care into the community, increasing access to, and cutting waiting times for, one of the most in-demand specialties in the NHS.

To book into the Dermatology clinic, you will need a standard NHS referral from one of our GPs – a member of our administration will then contact you to arrange your appointment.
