The practice has been rated as 'good' by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and offer high quality compassionate health care to patients in a friendly welcoming setting.

Patient care is at the heart of everything the practices does, with the aim being to provide patients with a personalised medical and nursing service. There is also the willingness to work hard to ensure that patients receive the care we would wish for ourselves and families.

It was founded in 2008 as a limited company whose shareholders are all 20 GP Practices within Kingston. The company is led by a Board of Directors who are also GP Partners in their own Practices within Kingston.

Kingston GP Chambers has worked collaboratively with both secondary care and the private sector. At present we provide community clinics for Dermatology, Urology, Neurology, Dementia and Diabetes. In addition, Kingston GP Chambers are at the forefront of improving patient access to primary care.

We deliver a comprehensive extended hours service offering GP appointments across three hubs in the evenings Monday to Friday, over the weekend and on Bank Holidays. Kingston GP Chambers has the ability to respond rapidly, and we have continued to demonstrate the capability to provide high-quality, innovative and timely solutions to improving patient care and experience.

We work closely alongside the other GP Federations in Southwest London to continue the government's five-year forward plan and deliver patient services in the community. We aim to continue to grow as we are increasingly recognised as the provider of choice for extended, enhanced and urgent GP services. We also expect an increasing role as we support, reinforce and develop the position of general practice as the core building block for an increasing range of jointly‑provided services.
