Noticeboard

  • Do you want to get your COVID vaccine? Are you 50 or over and live in Hackney or the City of London? for more information click here

  • From 1st April Barton House will be moving to a usual doctor system. Already we try as much as possible to make sure your appointment is booked with the doctor who knows you best, or with whom you have already spoken. Our doctors are now working in “teams”. This means that if your usual doctor is not available, and your query is urgent, and cannot wait for them to come back, you will be offered an appointment with another doctor in their team. This will mean that you speak to a few familiar faces at the practice and with doctors who know you. We hope that this will mean improved continuity and follow up in your care.

  • If you are waiting for a Covid Test Result, please do no come into the Practice.

  • Please note we are encouraging all patients attending appointments or visiting  BHGP to  wear a face covering.

Accessible Information Standard

The Accessible Information Standard aims to ensure that patients (or their carers) who have a disability or sensory loss receive information they can access and understand. For example in large print, braille or via email.

As part of the Accessible Information Standard we must:

  • Identify patients who may have an additional communication need.
  • Record the patient's need in our clinical GP system.
  • Flag the patient's record to assure additional communication needs are obvious to practice staff;
  • Share this information with other care givers such as social care;
  • Act to ensure our staff can effectively communicate with patients who may have additional communication needs.

Please inform a member of staff in reception if you have any communication support needs- you can call us on 0207 249 5511 or tell a receptionist in person. You need to help us make sure we get things right for you.

If you would like to know who your named GP is please contact reception.

This does not prevent you from seeing any GP in the practice as you currently do.

Our appointment line opens at 8am in the morning, please call at this time for an appointment that day. If your query is urgent we have a duty doctor available throughout our opening hours.
  • You may notice some differences in how we work during the pandemic. We are working, where possible, to reduce the need to come into the practice, and thus reduce the spread of the coronavirus. As always your initial appointment will be by telephone. We may use video calls to help us advise you. If a face to face appointment is needed, this will be offered to you.
  • Please do not attend the practice without first speaking to a doctor
  • If you are invited in for a face to face appointment, we will ask you some questions to check it is safe for you to come to the practice. Please let the doctor know, and do not attend the practice, if you are experiencing any symptoms of Covid-19 (fever, cough or loss of sense of smell), if you have been advised that you have been in contact with someone with Covid-19, or if you are waiting for the result of a swab test for Covid-19.
