Group Clinics for Shared Support

Group clinics offer a valuable way to manage long-term conditions with professional guidance and peer support.

These sessions include:

Home Visits by Dr Joanna Harris GP Westminster

Although home visits may seem ideal, they often provide less effective care than in-surgery appointments.

• Poor lighting and unsuitable settings reduce clinical quality

• Valuable clinician time is lost on travel

• Patient records and chaperones may be unavailable

Nevertheless, if a home visit is essential, we will assess the situation and arrange accordingly.
