Salaried GP 4 sessions

St Giles Surgery has been established in Camberwell for over 30 years. The team moved to a purpose-built premises which are shared with our neighbouring practice, Brunswick Park. Many patients have been registered with us since the onset. We are patient-focused and always try to offer the best possible patient care within our control. The whole team is passionate about making a difference for our patients and improving local population health and living.

Our list has grown significantly over the years and has continued to grow. We regularly review our catchment area, ensuring we are inclusive and offering services to our immediate population. We also offer many additional services and are always keen to pilot any new service that could benefit our local population. We work closely with our federation and are active within our Primary Care Network. We try to host as many services as possible as we believe having the services in-house enables our patients to feel comfortable accessing the range of professionals available.

We currently offer appointments with: Mental Health Practitioner, Wellbeing Coach, Social Prescriber, First Contact Physio and a Care Coordinator. In addition to this, we have two PCN pharmacists as well as an employed pharmacist supporting the clinical team and patients with medication queries, compliance and monitoring. We are a training practice and regularly host trainee placements.
