Dr M Fateh's Surgery

Dear Patients 

After more than 40 years of service as a General Practitioner within the NHS, the time has come for me to hang up my stethoscope and step into a new chapter of life--retirement. When I first began this journey, I could never have anticipated the depth of connection, growth, and fulfilment that would come from serving this incredible community. From welcoming newborns into the world to supporting patients through their final days, it has been the greatest privilege of my life to walk alongside you through the seasons of health and life. Working within the NHS has been an honour I will cherish forever. I have seen firsthand the strength of our communities, the dedication of colleagues, and the power of compassionate care. I leave proud of the work we've done together, and grateful to have been a part of something so deeply meaningful.
To my patients--thank you for your trust, your stories, your resilience, and your kindness. You have given my work purpose and my life joy. As I step away from the consulting room, I look forward to time with my family, quiet mornings and perhaps even discovering a few new hobbies. But please know that my heart remains here--with each of you, and with this community that I've come to love so deeply.

Thank you for allowing me the honour of being your doctor.
With deepest gratitude and warmest wishes,
Dr. M Fateh

ARMED FORCES INFORMATION 

https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/armed-forces-community/

Your GP surgery should usually be your first point of content if you have particular concern about your health. Appointments are available 7 days a week, including in the evenings, on weekends and bank holidays. These appointments can be booked online or over the phone.

Appointments can take place by phone, video, or face-to-face depending on your preference and clinical need.

A range of healthcare professionals work at your practice and in the wider community to help you get the right care when you need it. This means you might be seen by a GP, but you could also be seen by another trained professional such as a practice nurse, community pharmacist, physiotherapist, or social prescriber. 

Appointments out of hours

If you need an urgent appointment contact the practice during opening hours between Monday to Friday 8am to 6.30pm on 0208 592 4082 or fill out a E Consult form on  website 

When the practice is closed, please ring NHS 111 or use NHS 111 online and they can help you with booking an urgent GP appointment.

Routine and urgent appointments are provided in the evening and weekends at the following locations. You will be told which location you need to travel to when your appointment is booked:

Barking Hospital Hub – Upney Lane Barking IG11 9LX

Becontree Hub – 641-645 Becontree Avenue RM8 3HP

Broad Street Hub – Morland Road Dagenham Rm10 9HU

Parsloes Hub – 2 Hobart Road Dagenham RM9 5NH

You should only attend A&E if you need immediate care for something that is very serious or life-threatening. If your condition isn’t life-threatening, in many cases you could be seen faster by using other local services in your community.

If you feel unwell or have a minor injury, your local pharmacy can also offer advice and some medicines. Many pharmacies are open late and at the weekends, and you do not need an appointment to be seen. Find your nearest pharmacy.

If you live in Barking and Dagenham or Havering, you can also get help with minor injuries and illnesses at our community Urgent Treatment Centres at Barking Community Hospital and Harold Wood Polyclinic. These are open 8am-9pm, seven days a week. You can call NHS 111 to book an appointment or walk in and wait to be seen. 

If you are feeling overwhelmed and need urgent help because you are worried that you might harm yourself or someone else, contact your local mental health crisis line. Trained professionals are there to help you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by calling Mental Health Direct free on 0800 995 1000.
