The Lakeside Medical Practice was established almost 40 years ago to serve the medical needs of the new population moving to the newly built town of Thamesmead and its surrounding areas. Early residents came mainly from inner London in an attempt to address the housing shortage which was prevalent in the mid to late 1960s. At that time the Practice was served by one doctor. Since then the Practice has grown to a patient list of over 13,000 and now has ten GPs. Six female doctors and four male doctors. The Practice serves an area with a diverse cultural and minority ethnic population requiring varied clinical care.

We have a team of people working for patients registered with us. They, with us, form what is called a Primary Care Team: Health Visitors, District Nurses, Nurse Practitioners and Practice Nurses, Dentists, Dieticians, Chiropodists and Occupational Therapist(s). All these services work towards caring for young and old alike.

Personal Message from the Partner:

Dear Trainee,

If you want a training experience second -to -none, then you must come to Lakeside. We have been training for 30 years. Originally linked to Guy's by our professor of general practice who started the practice to present day. There is always on-site cover, consultant clinics, on-call help with a nurse practitioner and your own trainer one-to -one for OOH. We now have a state -of -the-art NEW BUILDING and you own dedicated room. Plenty of time to grow and mature. Lots of ex-registrar's around. Come and see us-you won't be disappointed. Check out our web site for more.

Dr. Prem Anand.
