Does anyone know what is going to happen to the original building?


Melbourne Grove/Concordia, who won the bid for this, currently has problems recruiting and retaining GPs for their existing surgery, so how are they going to recruit for this place?

Once the new health centre building is complete and commissioned and the services that are currently run from the hospital building transferred, the central "chateaux" is being retained as part of the Charter School (God knows why but that's my opinion) and the remainder will be bulldozed to make way for additional school buildings / open space.


I seem to vaguely remember that it could take until 2021 for the existing building to be decommissioned.

How about the "Can-I-have-some-of-the-?350-million-a-week-please-Boris Health Centre"

I find this sort of activity a real waste of time and money - presumably it requires employees to administer this when nhs resources are already stretched beyond limits.

Call me miserable, but i'd rather the nhs spent its limited funds on more important stuff.

?East Dulwich Medical Centre? is not only obvious but very dull! The linked article states they are looking for a name that demonstrates a connection to Southwark?s community and history. I just hope it doesn?t become the Alleyn Medical Centre.

The Mary Seacole Centre - it is on the site of the old Dulwich Maternity Hospital and Mary Seacole is credited with good quality maternity medical care.


In Jamaica in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, neonatal deaths were more than a quarter of total births, at a time when British-Jamaican planter Thomas Thistlewood wrote about European doctors employing questionable practices such as mercury pills and the bleeding of the patient. However, Seacole, using traditional West African herbal remedies and hygienic practices, boasted that she never lost a mother or her child.


Her links to Southwark, it has to be said, are tenuous, but not to London itself and there is a statue to her outside St Thomas'.

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
