The provider is registered with CQC to deliver the Regulated Activities; diagnostic and screening procedures, and treatment of disease, disorder or injury.
The practice is situated within the North East London Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and delivers Personal Medical Services (PMS) to a patient population of about 4,608. This is part of a contract held with NHS England.
The practice is part of a wider network of South Havering GP practices, which had sixteen practice members.
Information published by Public Health England shows that deprivation within the practice population group is in the seventh lowest decile (7 of 10). The lower the decile, the more deprived the practice population is relative to others.
According to the latest available data, the ethnic make-up of the practice area is 4.2% Asian, 86.9% White, 6.2% Black, 2.1% Mixed, and 0.6% Other.
The age distribution of the practice population closely mirrors the local and national averages.
The practice is open from Monday to Friday from 8am to 6.30pm and patients can book appointments from 8am.
The practice has a full time GP and either a advanced nurse practitioner or a second GP each day. A practice nurse three days a week, and a health care assistant. The staff are supported by operational and business managers and a team of administration and reception staff.
Due to the enhanced infection prevention and control measures put in place since the pandemic and in line with the national guidance, most GP appointments were telephone consultations. If the GP needs to see a patient face-to-face then the patient is offered a appointment at Berwick Surgery.
The practice is part of the GP hub that offers out of hours appointments between 6pm and 10pm on week days and between 8am to 8pm on weekends. Patients are also advised to use the emergency services for example 111 when the GP hub is closed.
