Relocation of West Ten GPs (Golborne Medical – Dr Razak) to new larger premises on Kensal Road
After many years of hard work beavering away to provide a better premises for our patients, Dr Razak’s team are excited to announce the planned relocation of the GP surgery to much larger purpose built premises around the corner at 175-177 Kensal Road, W10 5BJ, in the late autumn of 2023.
Just 350 yards away, the new premises are on the ground floor of the building in construction on Kensal Road between Holmfield House and Emslie Horniman Pleasance Park, within the Borough of RBKC.

Doubling the space we have had at our present site, this is great news for our patients, the new premises allowing more services than are currently possible:
- More clinic space for Doctors, Pharmacists and Nursing staff
- Dedicated rooms for our Physiotherapy, Massage, CBT Counselling and shared space for Group Consultations
- Co-location with key allied health professionals, eg Health Visitors, My Care My Way, Mental Health specialists etc
- Opportunities for drop in and / or community initiatives to support good local physical and mental health
- You tell us!
The move will not require any patients to re-register with the surgery nor result in changes of staff, and as all medical records are electronic they will transfer to the new site. Dr Razak has also created a dedicated team to support the move, ensuring the transition runs smoothly without an interruption in the service and also answer any queries our patients have.
We are really looking forward to extra support for our health and wellbeing with the move to a new larger site with better facilities.”

175-177 Kensal Road, W10 5BJ. Just 350 yards away, this will be only a few minutes walk from our current premises at 16 Golborne Road, W10 5PE. It is currently under construction, located between Holmfield House and Emslie Horniman Pleasance Park. We have attached a map at the bottom of this page.
The move will take place around late Autumn 2023. We have a team dedicated to working on moving the surgery as efficiently as possible to make sure that on the official opening day, all our operating systems and staff are ready to provide the best care for our patients. We believe this move will be very good news for our patients, with double the space allowing for additional services & initiatives.
In addition to a text directing patients to this page, every registered patient over 16 will receive a letter by mail, so that all patients are fully informed about the move to the new better premises.

PLUS a variety of buses available in the area: 23, 18, 28, 288, with a direct connection from Notting Hill, and the bus stop Bosworth Road is directly outside the new building.

Step free access to the building and clinic rooms will be a standard feature throughout the building for those with mobility needs.
As there will be more clinical space in the new premises, this should mean more availability for appointments, services, and new staff! We will always try to provide appointments with your preferred clinician when possible, to support a personalised approach to care, and maintain our easy access approach for more urgent queries.
Although the new Centre is larger and will offer more services, we will continue to provide a high level of personalised care, with all our current team based in the new premises as well as more staff members being employed to help our patients receive the highest level of care. A high level of planning is going into ensuring the transition is smooth and the facilities are there to enhance the patient experience.
As you may be aware, the current building from which we operate is shared with another GP Surgery. Once we vacate the building, Dr Ramasamy’s surgery will take the vacant rooms.
Since the new premises will be well over double the size of our current space, we hope to be able to offer more patient appointments with all the services we currently run as well as more services in general for the benefit of patient health and wellbeing.
As well as Doctors, Pharmacists & Nursing staff, we currently we offer a range of services such as having a diabetes specialist available, Physiotherapy, CBT counselling, Massage therapy, ECG’s, and many more.

We continually look at gaps in the services we provide, and welcome feedback from patients. If this is something you are interested in, please do join our Patient Participation Group!
As soon as we have updates ready, we will post them here on the website. Do also attend the patient engagement sessions in February, which we will send out joining instructions for in due course. Here is the playback from one of the sessions
