Each remote session has 16-17 telephone and face to face appointments. The Duty GP has 5 telephone appointments and 6 face to face slots which only GPs/PAs can book into. There is one hour administrative and supervision time built into the session.
There are regular clinical and practice meetings and a Whatsapp support chatgroup.
About us
Novum is made up of 2 fully merged practices, both with their own individual character. Rushey Green has a long history of looking after a particularly vulnerable population. Located in Central Lewisham, it is very deprived. Baring Road has a older population, is quieter and more affluent. Our practice is inclusive and caring. We work closely with our PCN with 5 other practices and Lewisham is well supported by our federation, One Health Lewisham.
Each site is supported by a full nursing team, with nurse practitioners. We have 5 Physician Associates working alongside the medical team. Our lead nurse also works for the CCG. There are 4 GP partners and 7 salaried GPs and 2 GP registrars.
We are keen to develop IT and find innovative ways of working and patients have multiple choices in which to access our services.
