Appointments - Imperial College Health Centre

Appointments

The Health Centre offers a variety of options for consulting a doctor or nurse.

If you know in advance you need to see a doctor or nurse please make a routine appointment. These are ideal for matters such as:

Review of longstanding health problems

Review of your medication or to arrange a repeat prescription

Travel advice and vaccinations (nurse led)

Contraception

Cervical smears

Minor surgical procedures

We have a small number of same day appointments which you can book via reception

Urgent problems

If you feel that your problem cannot wait until the next appointment you have two clinics that you could attend:

1.Morning Triage Clinic (08.30 until 10.00 Mon-Fri)

This is ideal for more urgent health problems. Everyone who attends this clinic will be seen by a doctor or

a nurse. You will be asked to complete a simple questionnaire and a doctor will use the information you

provide to decide who it is most appropriate for you to see.

2.Afternoon Triage Clinic (15.00 to 16.00 Mon, Weds, Thurs and Fri)

Everyone who attends in the afternoon without an appointment will also be asked to complete a simple questionnaire. Some routine and all urgent matters that can be dealt with by a nurse will be seen. All urgent medical problems will be seen by the doctor. Those with less urgent problems may be asked to book an appointment or return the following day for the morning clinic.

Home Visits

These are available but are only offered if the doctor feels you are too ill to attend the surgery.

Please telephone reception preferably before 10:30am if you feel you may need one.
