The Greenhouse Practice provides care to people living in hostels or supported accommodation, rough sleepers, and people who spend a significant amount of time on the street or in other public places. 
We also support the hidden homeless, such as people in squats or ‘sofa surfers.’

Greenhouse GP practice is run by the Trust in partnership with Groundswell, a charity which works with homeless and vulnerable people. Both organisations have considerable experience of the challenges which face homeless people and in supporting vulnerable individuals. The practice consists of doctors, nurses and administrative staff.

Please be aware that because of the current situation regarding COVID-19, consultations may be conducted remotely.
