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. :-)

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
