Details of local NHS
services
Our practice is located in
the London Borough of Lambeth
and consequently is
part of the Lambeth NHS Primary
Care Trust (we do not have any
choice about which primary
care group we belong to). Our local hospital is St. Thomas' Hospital, part of the Guy's and St. Thomas' Hospital NHS Trust. We also make extensive use of King's College Hospital and St. George's Hospital. Because of contractual limitations, it is difficult for us to refer you to some other hospitals, particularly those in North London. Community health services are provided by the
Lambeth Primary Care Trust. Mental health and psychiatry services are provided by the South London & Maudsely NHS Trust.
