Practical details for Chigwell patients

Appointments for Chigwell patients are delivered from our Loughton practice, a short journey away. Many Chigwell patients find travel time is offset by same-day or next-day availability and longer appointments with a familiar clinician. If you need prescriptions, referrals or test requests, we coordinate care alongside your NHS records where appropriate.

"You can use private GP care without deregistering from the NHS — we work with your existing healthcare arrangements to fill gaps where waiting times are unacceptable."
