OK, then, let me tell you something about the health centre. We have 5 GPs here — general practitioners. We also have a practice nurse who looks after minor injuries. She can also administer some treatments. We also have a chiropodist. That’s a foot specialist. She’s private which means you have to pay for the service unless you’re over 65.
If you want to see a doctor, you have to make an appointment first. Please call our main switchboard number on 020-9823-8322 to book an appointment at either our main practice or one of our branch surgeries. You can also email for an appointment on London Fields medical@NHS.net. Urgent cases are seen on the day. If your condition is non-urgent, you can expect to see a GP within two working days, though you may have to wait longer if you want to see a particular GP.
If it’s an emergency, you’d better come straight here to the Centre, one of the doctors can usually see you, or you can go to the emergency department at the hospital in town. If you are very sick, you can ask for a home visit as well. On Friday afternoons we have an open surgery which means you can come along and just wait to see a doctor, but you may have to wait for several hours, so it’s much better to make an appointment and come at the specified time.
Usually when you see a doctor you’ll be given a prescription for medicine which you need to take. You can choose to go to a pharmacist in a chemist’s shop. If the doctor decides that you will need the medication for a long time, you will be given a repeat prescription form. This allows you to get a further supply without seeing the doctor again. You simply leave the repeat form here a few days before you need it. Then you pick up the medication at the chemist’s.
Oh, you may wonder how much this all costs? Well, there is no charge for seeing a doctor — you can make an appointment anytime to see one of our doctors and it will not cost you anything for the consultation. However, you need to pay for the prescription and the cost varies with the medicine, but it’s usually just a few pounds. Neverthe-less, in some situations, such as pregnancy, the prescription is then free.
All right, do you have any other questions?
