Description
The practice was started by Dr MacFadyean senior in 1922 before the introduction of the NHS in 1948 from the present premises 74 Herne Hill which was his family home There are still many patients who remember consulting with him at that time in these premises Drs Anderson and Byrne later joined him in practice in 1948
On his retirement his son Dr Michael MacFadyean who had previously practiced in Tulse Hill joined the practice which had moved to 68 Herne Hill when 74 was bombed during the war Dr MacFadyean ran the business side of the practice until his retirement in the mid 1985 by which time there were four partners progressively increased to the present six between 1987 and 2000 Dr Anderson retired in 1988 after 40 years with the practice The first female doctor joined the practice in 1985
The lease ran out on 68 Herne Hill in 1985 so the practice needed to find a new home Dr MacFadyean wanted to continue the link with his family and for the practice to have a permanent home after his retirement His family subsequently sold 74 Herne Hill to the practice and a cost rent conversion was completed in March 1985 Improvements were made to the building in 1989 and the entire premises were refurbished and extended in 1998
The Addition of a lift in 2007 made the premises accessible to disabled patients
