Over recent months, the open access of eConsult via our website, has significantly increased the demand on our services. In order to maintain safe working practice, we are reducing the availability of eConsult on weekends and Bank holidays. Please note, you can access 111 online or call 111 for urgent medical attention when the practice is closed.
You may be asked to leave and re-book your appointment if you do not have a face covering. Please only attend the practice if you have a pre-booked appointment. We are conscious that some patients registered here at St Georges may be affected by current events in Afghanistan. St Georges Medical Practice is accredited by the Royal College of General Practitioners as one which specialises in the care of military veterans and their families.
All the team have been trained in the care of military veterans and their families. If recent events have affected you and you wish to seek help, please come forward. Before you book an appointment, please check if your care could be navigated to an alternative service which may be more appropriate than an appointment with a GP.

We will also be releasing appointments throughout the year for specific clinics such as in flu season we will have online flu appointments available.
