We are prioritising our registered patients with emergencies, then phasing in anyone who has treatment outstanding, and new patients when we have capacity, in order of urgency.

We are offering most treatments subject to a pre-screening assessment to identify those in higher risk groups, such as the shielding or elderly.

Due to social distancing, stricter cleaning and ventilation between each patient fewer appointment slots are available each day.

To book an appointment, call 020 8866 3025.
