Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
Pre-payment policy
We may require pre-payment/deposit or full payment to secure your appointment with a doctor or our phlebotomist.
For most services, pre-payment for new patients is up to a maximum of 100% of the standard appointment charge, excluding any medication, tests, or procedures.
Previous patients who have failed to attend an appointment will be subject to full payment in advance to secure an appointment.
The remainder of your consultation fee plus any additional tests, medications or service(s) is required to be paid in full at the end of your consultation.
Late Policy
We appreciate that sometimes there are unforeseen issues with travel arrangements. To provide the best possible service to all our patients, we ask you to contact us if you are running late 020 8629 4060 so we can make arrangements to ensure you are seen by our doctor or phlebotomist.
Unfortunately, if you are more than 20 minutes late for your appointment without our prior agreement, and we do not have the ability to see you without delaying our next patient, we will treat this as a missed appointment. Our clinics are very busy, and this is to ensure we keep to our appointment schedule and do not unfairly inconvenience other paying patients. If we consider you have missed an appointment, we will be unable to refund any of your pre-payment/deposit.
Rescheduling
For GP services, you may reschedule your appointment free of charge up to 24 hours before the time of your appointment. You can do this via the link in your email booking confirmation or by calling 020 8629 4060.
If your booking is less than 2 hours before your scheduled appointment for GP services, you may reschedule but you will lose (part of full) any pre-payment or deposit paid for your initial appointment.
Cancellation policy
If you are unable to attend your appointment you agree to let us know at the earliest opportunity. Appointments can be cancelled via the link in your email booking confirmation or phoning the practice.

Failure to attend

You will not be eligible for a refund of any pre-payment or deposit.
