• Changes to GP Access in North West London – Update

    It was announced at the beginning of March that these plans have been postponed for a year.


    Plans have been revealed to change GP access across North West London.

    Patients wanting same day access to a GP will be referred to a central hub which will be overseen by a GP but will be staffed by care co-ordinators who will decide how to deal with their request.

    Only if you have a “complex long-term condition” will you be given the option to consult with and see your doctor in the GP practice where you are registered.

    Robin Sharp, Chair, Brent Patient Voice, and Deborah Unger, NWL PPG Forum Chair; who are both members of QPARA; have written a summary of and reaction to the proposals, titled: “Alarming proposals planned to restrict patients seeing their own GP“.

    This can be seen, along with other information, on this website at: Changes to GP Access in North West London

  • Possible Conservation Area Changes

    From now until 11th March, Brent are running a consultation on possible conservation area changes.

    The two proposals of most interest to QPARA members are:

    1. Extending the Queen’s Park Conservation Area to cover most of Salisbury Road and the area south of Paddington Old Cemetery.
    2. Creating a new conservation area for Kensal Rise.

    Details of these possible changes, drop-in sessions and how to respond are on Brent’s website at: https://www.brent.gov.uk/planning-and-building-control/listed-buildings-and-conservation-areas/conservation-consultation

    This shows the area that is being considered to add to the Queen’s Park Conservation Area.

    The downloadable documents contain a lot more information.

    Note: there are older documents dated 2019 still on the Brent website, but the page above contains the latest. One major change from the previous proposals is that, instead of including part of Chamberlayne Road in the Queen’s Park Conservation Area, it is now proposed to include it in the new Kensal Rise Conservation Area.
