GP Pathfinders’ Chamberlayne Surgery, located at 124 Chamberlayne Road, Kensal Rise, North West London, is temporarily closed after a car crashed into the front of the building in the early hours of Tuesday morning (3rd June).
Staff from GP Pathfinders are currently contacting all affected patients to reschedule their appointments at one of GP Pathfinders other surgeries:
Patients with scheduled appointments, who have not yet been contacted, are encouraged to get in touch with GP Pathfinders as soon as possible on 0208 902 4792.
The surgery is expected to reopen within the next 24 hours following essential cleaning and the installation of a secure temporary frontage. Builders are already on site carrying out the necessary repairs before a full rebuild of the front begins.
Deborah McBeal, Chief Officer of GP Pathfinder Clinics, said:
“We are in touch with patients who had appointments at our Chamberlayne Surgery and urge anyone we haven’t yet reached to contact us directly. Patients requiring urgent care will be seen at one of our other locations. We understand how disruptive rescheduling can be and are doing everything we can to meet our patients’ needs during this time.”
No staff or patients were present at the time of the incident. The police were called and we are not aware of any injuries.

We are now closed indefinitely for submissions of short stories. It’s been fun.
Take care. Be good. See you around!
Ed.
Thanks for another lovely lot of short stories this year, though we only managed to find some for nine out of the twelve months.
Here’s wishing everyone a peaceful and happy new year. (Ed.)
