Update......


Went to the Peckham Pulse Family Planning Clinic today and just wanted to let people know that they are closing it down from 30th June and relocating all the staff to the Camberwell Sexual Health Centre at 100 Denmark Hill, with the opening times of Monday-Friday 9am to 7.30pm (I was also warned not to just turn up later in the day as they often stop taking people before the official closing time...so phone first to check (020 3299 5000 is the direct line).


The Saturday morning appointment system at the Camberwell Centre is also being got rid of apparently - Mon to Fri only in the future.


I am so fed up with this. 10 years ago I could walk 5 minutes up the road to a local Doctors Surgery that ran a Family Planning Clinic one evening a week from 7-10pm. Currently I have a 30 minute walk to the Peckham Pulse clinic, but have to take time off work to go, and frankly I'm not even going to attempt to be seen at the Camberwell Clinic having read the feedback on here about 5 hour wait times etc.


So....choices in terms of family planning pretty much reduced to;


1) Abstinence!!

2) The Pill - via my Doctor (and must remember no good if I'm on anti-biotics....eek).

3) Persona - which worked well for me pre children, but costs me ?10 a month for the testing sticks....and does mean being pretty organised (2 hour testing window so have to check it every morning at more or less the same time)

4) .....where's that thread on vasectomy's again ;-)


I know there are a few clinics around the place, but nothing close, or easy when working around a 2.5 year old, the morning and afternoon school run, work, and ....life in general. I feel worn out even trying to work out how and when to get there, and stressed by the thought of not knowing how long I'd be there for.


Is it just me, or do others feel it is wrong to be closing clincis and sending even more people to an already overstretched clinic? I guess we are lucky to get free contraception, and just have to accept the hassles which are involved, it's losing services that were there that I find so upsetting.


Sigh.

Sorry to hear of you cr*ppy experience at Camberwell SHC.


I've found it just fine when I've been either for drop in or appointment. For IUD I made an appointment and all went smoothly but this was a couple of years ago.


I've also used the Mary Seacole centre in Clapham which was good too

One of my friends had a similar experience with the Camberwell Sexual Health clinic. I do believe she said it was possible to make an appointment though, if that is in fact possible, then that would be OK. At the moment I am sticking with option 1. :-)

    • I do hope NOT. He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard.
