Health and medical advice

In the first instance, you should contact your GP surgery for medical advice. The GP or practice nurse will be able to treat you or refer you to a range of health services, designed to meet your health needs.

If you are not registered with a GP, contact the ‘Find a Doc’ service.

‘Find a Doc’ helps residents of East London find and register with a GP.

The service provides information and advice about local practices, sends out lists of GPs in the local area and assigns patients to a GPs list when they cannot find a GP who will accept them.
