Our Homeless Service
From the 29th January we will be operating drop in appointments for registered homeless patients from 10am - 12pm Mondays and 1pm - 3pm Fridays. While we will still be operating drop in sessions on a Wednesday it will be a slimmed down service from what we currently offer. This is in response to feedback from homeless patients who have requested more equitable access to appointments throughout the week and also changes to GP opening hour requirements. Please see the timetable below for a full list of which services will be available on each day.
