Introduction

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.
