Ha! Couldn't agree more about drs and receptionists! Such a shame as the midwives are fab.

I've always had good treatment and advice from Dr Graham at FHR, and Dr Haldane was very good at Melbourne Grove - haven't seen her since the move across. I actually had a cheery receptionist the other day too!
I am with Melbourne Grove and was impressed by midwife service when pregnant last year so I guess it's swings n roundabouts as I know that surgery gets a lot of bad press but I find it OK (aside from the 'nurse call back' arrangement). My friend is with the surgery on Forest Hill Road and stayed with them even when she moved as she thought so highly of the doctors there so might be worth registering there? Best of luck with the rest of the pregnancy

Hi, I'm glad I'm not the only one who is not impressed with melbourne grove. I found the midwife there really nice, but didn't really help with advise on the pain and discomfort I had during pregnancy. Wasn't until I went to hospital before I gave birth that they tested me for thrush.... Something so simple that many pregnant women get. Would of made my pregnancy and relationship easier. Going to see health vister there, seemed to be a waste of time too. And don't get me started on my 6 week check, had loads of discomfort after..... went to see them 7 times. all complete waste of time! Now move to the doctors on crystal palace rd.... my advice, move doctors, it's stressful enough without that on top!
I don't they have that 'nurse call back' any more - you can call and book an appointment with one of the GPs, nurse practitioners, or practice nurses. They still have telephone appointments if you just need some telephone advice.

I am not very impressed with the overall care at DMC these days and it seems I always need to make a complaint to the practice manager to get an appt when needed, or a repeat prescription sorted


I also got really mucked about by the lanes who took me off their list and never booked me after appaently leaving me messages I never got ehile not getting my messages to them (and not responding when I called in tears bleeding after a car acident in the second trimester) I notice they have a sign up atm saying their message system isn't working so guess that hasn't changed!

i had a bad experience with the DMC last year so swapped to The Gardens but the midwife there is dreadful so avoid!!!! Having just finished antenatal classes with a few ladies who are with the Oakwood and the Lanes midwives I suggest you def try and get in with one of these, its a minefield understanding the care you should be getting so good luck!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
