The NHS in south east London is very busy due to rising coronavirus infection rates, but we’ll still help you get urgent care when you need it.
GPs are providing more appointments for patients with urgent health needs, including evenings and weekends. Contact your own practice and they will tell you how to arrange local, same-day appointments if you need urgent care. There may be some disruption to non-urgent services over the next two weeks as practices respond to urgent care requests. However, please do not contact your GP practice or other NHS service to enquire about the COVID-19 vaccine or when you might receive it. If you would like information on the vaccine please visit the NHS South East London CCG website.

Fight flu this winter!
Did you know that people at high risk from flu are also most at risk from COVID-19?
There’s never been a better time to protect yourself, your friends and family from the double danger of seasonal flu and coronavirus.
The most at-risk people will be invited first to take up this year’s flu vaccination, free of charge.
Once the vaccination of the most ‘at-risk’ groups is well underway, health services will confirm when best to invite people aged 50 to 64 to secure their flu vaccination.
Get your flu vaccination at your GP surgery, a local pharmacy, your workplace, school or midwifery service.
Keep Greenwich Safe.
