What We Do
The Clock Tower Surgery caters exclusively for Exeter’s homeless and vulnerably housed. It is located within the Co-Lab, where agencies work together to deliver more efficient and streamlined support for their client groups.
Having a GP surgery dedicated to caring for the homeless and vulnerably housed under the same roof as housing, support, mental health, and probation services, as well as a number of other voluntary agencies, has empowered the Clock Tower Surgery to change for the better the lives of some of the city’s most disadvantaged residents.

- A comprehensive service for venous leg ulcers
- Assessment and management of complex mental health problems by our own mental health workers and clinical psychologist
- Physiotherapist offering fast access, ie within seven days, for musculoskeletal problems

Did you know?
To get help from NHS 111, you can go online (for assessment of people aged 5 and over only). The service uses the same digital triaging system that calling 111 uses. This may mean a much quicker result for your healthcare need.
You can also call 111 for free from a landline or mobile phone.
