We are writing to inform you that the arrangements under the Special Allocation Scheme (SAS) will be changing. This email is for information and Practices should continue to follow the same process when removing patients onto the SAS.
With effect from 3rd February 2020, the SAS will be provided by a new GP Practice ‘The North East London Special Allocation Practice’ and will be managed by One Health Lewisham (OHL). This will also mean that the locations at which patients are seen by the SAS doctor or nurse will also change. Patients on the scheme will be able to book an appointment and attend any of the new site locations.
The new locations and times to access the service are as follows:
Kenworthy Road Health Centre (2nd Floor)

Mondays 09:00 – 13:00
(Please note this site will be operational from 1st March 2020)
