Médecins du Monde UK - London drop-in

Do you need help accessing healthcare? Or do you know people within your community who need some help to access healthcare?

In January 2006, Médecins du Monde UK, a medical non-governmental organisation launched an advocacy project which aims to help people to access healthcare. We help, for example, people to register with GPs, dentists or to access maternity services. Until this is possible, however, a nurse and a doctor are present at every session and can provide short-term healthcare treating most infections and acute conditions. If necessary, the doctor will prescribe some medication which the client will be able to pick up from our pharmacist partner free of charge in Stepney. It is important to understand that Project: London is not an alternative service to a family doctor but is here to help you find one. We also provide information on how the NHS works, the different services available, how to access these services and exemptions from NHS charges. Anyone is welcome to use this service whatever their status and wherever they live. The service is totally free, confidential and independent.

Project: London is a drop-in, 'first-come-first-served' service (without appointment). It is better though to come early to avoid disappointment.
