About us

Market Street Health Group is situated in Newham, one of the poorer areas of London. As a result, our patients tend to have more health needs and often make more visits to see their doctor than the average. We have a higher than average representation of the under 16s, the elderly and look after 3 Nursing/Care Homes. Newham has a very diverse population and as a practice we are one of the highest users of the local interpreting service.

We are one of the larger practices in Newham with over 13 thousand patients, 5 GPs, 3 GP Registrars, 1 Nurse, 3 Health Care Assistants and 2 Clinical Pharmacists.

The clinical team is supported by the Practice Manager, a team of 8 Receptionists supervised by a Lead Receptionist, 2 Secretaries supervised by a Senior Secretary, a Medical Records Clerk, 2 Administrators and a Facilities Manager plus Apprentices.
