Our doctors are part of SELDOC (South East London Doctors on Call), a doctors' co-operative where GPs take turns to do night and weekend duties. For urgent advice when the surgery is closed please telephone 020 8766 8888 or 020 8670 2414. You will hear the message on our answerphone giving you the number of SELDOC (020 8693 9066). In the case of an acute collapse or dire emergency, please dial 999.
Please use SELDOC for urgent advice or emergencies only. The duty doctor will return your call and gather sufficient information to make a decision on how your problem should be managed. If the duty doctor decides you need a face-to-face consultation but you are well enough to travel to the SELDOC Centre at Dulwich Hospital, East Dulwich Grove, it is your responsibility to arrange and finance transport. Home visits are only carried out on medical grounds and are at the discretion of the duty doctor.
Alternatively, you can call the NHS Direct general advice line on 0845 4647 (calls are charged at local rates).

If your problem is more serious, NHS Direct can call out an ambulance on your behalf. The service also provides information on local health services (such as doctors, dentists or out-of-hours pharmacies) and self help or support organisations.
