WEEK DAY WALK-IN CLINICS:

SATURDAY WALK-IN CLINICS: 

No appointment is needed for these, however, at busy times there may be a short wait to be seen. If you have a routine appointment with a Doctor or a Nurse you can ask to have your flu jab then. 

If you are registered as a housebound patient we will arrange a home visit from the district nurse. We are also offering bookable clinics so if you prefer to have a booked appointment for your flu vaccination please call the practice and our receptionists will book you an appointment in our selection of bookable flu clinics.

It is helpful for our nursing team if you wear loose sleeved clothing when you attend so that your upper arm is accessible for the vaccination.

PRACTICE EARNINGS

All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.

The average pay for GPs working in Hampstead Group Practice in the last financial year was £46,140 before tax and National Insurance. This is for 15 part-time GPs and 1 locum GP who worked in the practice for more than six months.

NAMED ACCOUNTABLE GP

From 1 April 2015 all GP Practices are required to allocate a named, accountable GP to ALL patients. The named accountable GP will take lead responsibility for the coordination of all services required by the patient and ensure they are delivered, where required, (based on the clinical judgement of the named accountable GP).

Patients will be informed of their named accountable GP at the first appropriate interaction with the Practice.

If you wish to be told the name of your accountable GP, please ask at Reception when you are next in the Practice.

Please note: there is no need to telephone the Practice for this information.

If you have a preference as to which GP you are assigned,the Practice will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the request. If you would not like a named accountable GP please inform the Practice.

Having a named GP does not prevent you from seeing any other doctor in the Practice.

For patients aged 75 and over, the named accountable GP is responsible for working with relevant associated health and social care professionals to deliver a multi-disciplinary care package that meets the needs of the patient and ensuring that these patients have access to an annual health check.
