How can we help you?
Accessibility
There is access for the disabled via the new front lobby door. There is also a fully equipped toilet with wheelchair access
Parking
Parking is only available on the roads nearby.
We have 3 parking spaces which are for GPs only. Please do not obstruct the cars because as GPs we need to get in and out of the surgery for emergencies.
We are also next door to a church and the priest has written to the practice asking us not to park in the church car park. The church car park tends to get busy when there are weddings and funerals.

The hubs are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. You can also be seen at a GP Hub without an appointment but may have to wait.
Hubs at:
- Purley Hospital 856 Brighton Road Purley CR8 2YL
- East Croydon 59 Addiscombe Road Croydon CR0 6SD
- Parkway Health Centre Parkway New Addington CR0 0JA
The following link to Croydon GP Hubs will give you details of what type of conditions are able to be dealt with at the Hubs.
Life threatening
Call 999 or go to A&E now if:
- you or someone you know needs immediate help
- you have seriously harmed yourself – for example, by taking a drug overdose
A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a medical emergency.
Urgent but not life threatening
Visit an urgent care centre if:
- You have an urgent medical issue requiring on the day attention
Non-urgent
Use NHS 111 if:
- You need help now, but it’s not an emergency
There will be someone to provide you with advice and to direct you to a clinician if it is necessary.
Emergency dental treatment
A GP is not appropriately trained to deal with dental problems. This includes toothaches, abscesses and problems experienced after dental treatment. We cannot provide antibiotics as it is necessary to have a full assessment before prescribing such things.
We would therefore suggest patients register with and attend regularly a dentist who can provide appropriate routine and emergency advice. Dentists offer a 24 hour emergency service. Out of normal surgery hours, this service is only for urgent dental treatment that cannot wait until the next working day to be treated.
For emergency dental treatment outside normal working hours, registered patients should contact their dental surgery. Most surgeries have an answering machine message referring you to out-of-hours information.
