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!

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).

      Excellent Carpenter Recommendation - Greg

      By LA1 · Posted

      Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By satsuma · Posted

      The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
