NHS 75th Anniversary

21st June 2023Patient information

July 5th will be the 75th birthday of our NHS, however we do not feel like it is the time to celebrate. Under the current climate, it is vital that we stand together to protect our NHS from the proposed changes being made which will drastically affect the core values. 

 

Join us on 5th July to honour the amazing success of the NHS in the recent past, and stand for the values as we know it. 

Travel Vaccinations

5th September 2022Patient information

We have paused our travel health vaccination service until further notice. This is due to the current polio virus outbreak in London. We are now prioritising the vaccination and protection of children at risk of catching polio. Should you require travel advice and vaccinations in the meantime please visit a local travel clinic. Thank you for your understanding.

Shortages of Travel Vaccinations

19th July 2022Patient information

We have to reduce the number of travel consultation we can offer, due to the shortages of supply with common travel vaccinations such as Hep A and typhoid. The reception team will check with the nursing team about the stock availability before booking you an appointment. We will always try our best to accommodate patients, however when we run out of vaccines you will be advised to seek travel health advice from another provider. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

You may wish to visit CityDoc to find the nearest travel clinics.

Aberfeldy Stories – Dr Phillip Bennett-Richards

12th July 2022Patient information

The Aberfeldy neighbourhood has been the centre of major regeneration over the past 10 years, led by EcoWorld London and Poplar HARCA.

As part of their 10-year anniversary celebrations they have launched Aberfeldy Stories – an exhibition that explores the transformation of this neighbourhood through the lives of people that live here. Please read Dr Phillip’s story below. You can read more stories and listen to audio/podcasts by clicking on Aberfeldy Stories.

“I’m a GP family doctor. I think Aberfeldy residents are good, honest people. When they see that you’re trying to make a difference, then they take you to their souls. I have been working on the Aberfeldy for 22 years. I’m just about becoming accepted as a local! The regeneration of the Aberfeldy Estate, I think, has been a key factor in improving the health and the well being of the community.”
Dr Phillip Bennett-Richards
