We are operating a walk-in service for Flu Vaccinations.
Monday 10am – 12pm 3pm – 5pm
Tuesday 10am – 12pm 3pm – 5pm
Thursday 10am – 12pm 3pm – 5pm
Please note that patients aged between 50-64 years will not be offered a vaccination until November and December, providing there is sufficient vaccines. No appointments will be offered for this age group until then. This is to ensure that those who are most at risk are vaccinated first. If you are aged between 50-64 and you are in one of the other groups which is eligible for the flu vaccination, for example you have a health condition which puts you at risk from the flu, you will be invited earlier

(early morning appointments from 7:00am Monday; late evening appointments till 7:30pm Tuesday).
NOTICE: The Surgery will be CLOSED every 3rd Thursday of each month from 1pm. The surgery will reopen at 8am the next day. This is for staff training. The front door will be closed and the phone lines off. Call 111 for any queries between these times.
Bermondsey Spa Medical Practice. Moving forward…
Dr Tariq Bhatti and Dr Das are the Partners and are very keen to improve the patient experience at our practice, so we have developed an Improvement Plan for the future.
As part of this, we have reviewed patient feedback made over the last few months and have identified the key areas for improvement. This is how we are going to address them:
- Getting Appointments – we are in the process of employing more clinical staff with a view to increasing capacity. This will be regularly monitored by our team to identify any shortfall and addressed accordingly.
- Telephone Access – we are in the process of increasing our reception team and, in collaboration with other providers and our PPG have developed a way to use our resources staff more efficiently
We are also working in partnership with other local providers to share and learn from their experience of ‘Best Practice’.
Very importantly, we are working hard to develop a proactive Patient Participation Group (PPG) to improve patient engagement. More information about the PPG is available on our website.
Patient Participation Group
Our aim is to enhance the experience of our patients by working with you and giving you a chance to be part of future changes in the Practice. To this end we are setting up a Patient Participation Group. If you are interested in joining, please let a Receptionist know.

Every patient has the right to make a complaint about the treatment or care they have received at the Bermondsey Spa Medical Practice. We understand that we may not always get everything right and by telling us about the problem you have encountered, we will be able to improve our services and patient experience.
