Frequently asked questions
🡢 What happens to my PATCHS?
Once you submit your PATCH, it will be seen by a healthcare professional, who will allocate a member of our clinical team to deal with your issue. This healthcare professional may call you or want to see you in person.
Occasionally, with the information you provide, we may be able to directly send medication to your pharmacy, order tests or make referrals.
If we require more information from you, we may reply to your PATCH with more specific questions.
🡢 What if I can’t use PATCHS?
If you are struggling to use PATCHS, our reception team can help you create an account and guide you through completing your first PATCH. Please ring us on 020 7624 8616 so that our reception team can support you by completing a PATCH for you.

Pharmacists are experts in the medication you take. For questions relating to your medication, they are the best people to speak to.
🡢 What are nurses and healthcare assistants and what do they do?
Nurses and healthcare assistants can carry out a wide range of services. These include vaccinations, injections, wound care and dressings, blood pressure monitoring, to name a few. Our senior nurses can also see you if you are experiencing minor symptoms, such as a cough or a cold.
If you have been diagnosed with several health conditions, or have an ongoing health concern, it may be more appropriate to see a GP.
🡢 Additional Access Hubs
Patients contacting us with acute medical needs can now be referred to five Additional Access hubs. It means that the patient will have a face-to-face appointment on the same or next day (depending on booking time).
These hubs take place in different GP Practices across your local area, including within our practice: Paddington Green Health Centre, Lisson Grove Health Centre, St Johns Wood Medical Practice, Marylebone Health Centre and the South Westminster Centre. Patients will be seen by a GP or Advanced Nurse Practitioner.
Appointments will be triaged by our team based on need via the usual methods for booking an appointment. You do not have to accept an appointment at one of the Additional Access hubs.
