Welcome to SELDOC South East London Doctors' Co-operative
Introduction
SELDOC
was set up in April 1996 as a GP co-operative providing out-of-hours General Medical Services to its GP members from a base leased within Dulwich Hospital, SE22.
From the outset Seldoc was designed to be operationally self-sufficient, providing all aspects of the service from within the organisation, upholding the values of being Co-operative.
SELDOC is owned, managed and financed by its GP members and local location partners, who hold a share equivalent to £1.00.
The GP membership is drawn from Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham, as reflected in the name South East London Doctors' Co-operative.
The call centre, cars and mobile doctors all operate from our Dulwich Hospital site.
 When your surgery is closed...
When your surgery is closed your GP will make sure that you can get advice and, if necessary, treatment when you become unwell. This is known traditionally as the 'on call' service.
Your GP has chosen to meet this commitment by working in association with more than 430 other local Principal GPs to share the care and treatment of patients. This co-operative approach to 'on call' services enables better care for patients and includes communication with your own GP when surgery re-opens. It also means that NHS resources for local people can be used more effectively.
The service is known as SELDOC and has two bases, Dulwich Hospital and the Primary Care Suite at Lewisham Hospital.
If you ever need to seek advice or treatment from SELDOC you can rest assured that the service you receive comes from someone your own doctor knows.
The housebound and the very ill can be visited at home by the mobile doctor.
