About Us
The present partners are Dr Rupal Shah, Dr Carolyn Bayer, Dr Judith Pearson and Dr Sadaf Zahur.
We offer general medical services to our diverse Battersea population. We are members of Battersea Primary Care Network. We hold the Pride in Practice Gold Award and the Greener Practice Bronze Award. We are registered as a Safe Surgery.
To register with us as a patient, you need to reside in our practice area, and this should be your main residence within the United Kingdom. We cover the whole of the SW11 postcode, and a small part of the SW4 and SW8 postcode areas that are included in the Borough of Wandsworth.
Information Leaflets
The practice waiting room contains a selection of posters and leaflets relating to health prevention, various medical conditions, sexual health, and practice services. Please ask a receptionist using our Ask Reception a Question form if you cannot find the information you are looking for.
All of the printed information which our doctors and nurses print out during their consultations is available on www.patient.co.uk. We strongly recommend this website as a source of accurate and up to date health information.

Green Impact for Health
The practice is delighted to have been awarded the bronze Greener Practice Award. We are actively taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint. The climate emergency is also a health emergency, and health care in the UK contributes 5.4% of the UK’s carbon emissions. We need to enhance the health of our current population without compromising the health of future generations, and this means operating within the sustainable boundaries of the planet. Fortunately most of the solutions for the planet also make our health better – for example eating a mainly plant-based diet, engaging in active travel and exercise in nature, avoiding smoking, reducing pollution etc. all enhance our health and reduce our need for medications, with further benefits to the NHS, your health and the carbon footprint of healthcare.
