Evening and Weekend Appointments
I:HUB is an extended hours GP service run by Islington GPs.
Appointments are available between 18.30 and 20.00 Monday to Friday and from 08:00 - 20:00 at the weekend and on public holidays.
Appointments do not have to be urgent and are available to anyone registered with an Islington GP.
To make an appointment, patients need only call their regular GP practice telephone number between 08.00 and 20.00, 7 days per week.
If the practice is open, the receptionist will be able to book an I:HUB appointment there and then. If not, the call will be answered by I:HUB staff who will be able to help .
Whether it's a routine appointment, a check-up, or an annual review, patients will receive the same level of care at I:HUB as they would at their usual practice. I:HUB’s doctors and nurses have full electronic access to patient records and the patient’s usual GP will get an immediate notification of the consultation.
I:HUB currently operates from three locations spread across the borough:-
• Andover Medical Centre, 270-282 Hornsey Road, N7 7QZ
• Ritchie Street Group Practice, 34 Ritchie Street, N1 0DG
• Islington Central Medical Centre, 28 Laycock Street, N1 1SW
