Project:London, Hands on Care

You Need Medical Help from Project:London

At Project: London, priority is given to people not registered with a General Practitioner (GP) or who have been denied access to healthcare.

Project: London is not a GP practice and does not offer treatment for long-term conditions that need regular monitoring.

Specially trained support workers:

  • Inform people about how to access and use mainstream services.
  • Provide information in the service users own language if necessary.
  • Help people to register with a GP.
  • Help people to access specialist services such as dentists or counselling.
  • Help service users if they struggle to make phone calls by organising interpreting services and  accompanying people to appointments.

Fully qualified medical staff:

  • Discuss health concerns with service users.
  • Provide short-term medical care before the service users are helped to register with a GP.
  • Treat most infections and acute conditions.
  • Issue private prescriptions from a limited list of drugs which will be available free of charge to service users.
