About Us

Our NHS GP practices combine the best of traditional primary care with the benefits of modern technology. We have male and female GPs at each site supported by a highly trained multi-professional team that will take care of your health.

This page contains a wide range of information about us and the services available to our patients; scroll down to find out more

Our ethos is based upon 4 fundamental principles and all members of our team were involved in developing it:

image

To provide the highest quality of care to all our patients regardless of their background.

image

To treat every patient holistically- this means looking at social, psychological and physical reasons when trying to deal with their problems.

image

To continuously strive to improve the quality of care we provide as a team by being a “learning organisation”. This means learning from both good and bad aspects of our practice and to identify learning needs based upon this.

image

To be involved in the teaching and training of other health professionals such as medical students, Doctors, Nurses, Counsellors and physios.

Either way, we will support you to get the best care possible.

Home Visits

Home Visits

Please help us to help you and our other patients. Our doctors are able to see several patients in the surgery in the time it takes to do a single home visit. For this reason, we ask our patients to come to the surgery where required, and we also offer video and telephone consultations where appropriate.

However, we can visit you at home if you are:

Home Visits

terminally ill

Home Visits

housebound

Home Visits

severely ill and cannot be mobilised

We want to see patients as quickly as possible, and the best way is often to encourage them to come to the surgery, because your GP will have access to all your medical records, including those held on computer. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the surgery.

Babies and small children should be brought to the surgery where we will do our best to see them promptly. If our reception staff are made aware that your child is particularly unwell, they will do everything they can to ensure that you are not kept waiting unnecessarily to see the GP.

london-541457_1280

Transport/social problems –We cannot undertake home visits for reasons of convenience or lack of transport .We will be happy to provide you with details of local taxi firms. From experience we find that relatives, neighbours or friends are often willing to help out.

Our responsibility to you is to resolve the medical problem you have; your responsibility is to take all the reasonable steps you are able to, to enable us to do that.

Please request visits before 10am whenever possible as this allows the GP to plan their day accordingly. Late requests often lead to disruption of the appointment system and excessive waiting times for others.

A doctor/nurse will call you back on most occasions to assess your problem. This is to enable the GP to prioritise visits.

It may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse or indeed arrange a hospital attendance. It also prepares the GP to collect some information required as necessary for the visit

The GP may ask you to come to the surgery, where you will be seen as soon as possible. We would like to stress that no patient in serious and definite need of a home visit will be refused.

In the past, GPs were able to routinely follow up home visits. Sadly, pressures of time and more patients needing attention means this is usually no longer possible.

Some problems such as severe chest pains or shortness of breath are medical emergencies and you will be advised to dial 999.

Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre

Silverlock Medical Centre is a Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre.

Yellow fever is a serious viral infection that is spread by certain types of mosquito. It is mainly found in sub-Saharan Africa, South America and parts of the Caribbean. The yellow fever vaccine is given as a single injection and provides protection for 95-100% of those who have it. This protection lasts at least 10 years and may even be life-long.

Yellow fever vaccinations can only be given at designated centres. For a centre to become a designated yellow fever vaccination centre it must register with the appropriate authority and in England this is the National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC). Silverlock Medical Centre is registered with NaTHNaC.

The yellow fever vaccination service is open to all patients of Silverlock Medical Centre and will be accessible to patients from other local AT Medics practices; Queens Road Surgery.

Silverlock Medical Centre advises all patients planning to travel to an area where they may be at risk of yellow fever to make sure they are vaccinated at least 10 days before making their trip.

Please complete a travel questionnaire and then arrange for two consecutive appointments (i.e. two appointments together) with one of our practice nurses. We recommend that this is done at least 8 weeks before you leave for your holiday. For registered patients only.
