Hammersmith and Fulham Centres For Health

What Hammersmith and Fulham Centres For Health does

Hammersmith and Fulham Centres For Health is an NHS GP practice operating primary healthcare services for residents of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The practice is part of the North Hammersmith and Fulham Primary Care Network and is commissioned by NHS North West London Integrated Care Board. Core services include GP appointments, prescription management, test results access, sick (fit) notes, new patient registration, vaccinations, carers support, and referrals to specialists.

The practice operates from two sites: the main site at Hammersmith Hospital (Du Cane Road) and a second site at Charing Cross Hospital, which is temporarily closed for refurbishment from 5 January to 30 June 2026, with all appointments relocated to the Hammersmith Hospital site during this period. The practice's digital front door is built on the GPsurgery.net platform template and integrates with NHS institutional infrastructure including the NHS App for patient access and NHS 111 for out-of-hours care. An online consultation system powered by Patchs.ai enables patients to submit health queries and request appointments via an online form.

The business model is publicly funded NHS primary care: services are free at point of use to UK residents, and revenue derives from NHS capitation, Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) payments, and enhanced service reimbursements channelled through the ICB. The practice does not engage in commercial marketing or pricing; growth and access are pursued through institutional channels, partnerships (notably with W12 Together), and digital tooling rather than competitive acquisition. The stated headcount of 8 employees is low for an NHS GP practice and likely understates clinical and administrative staff in the source data.
