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. :-)

    • Thank you! She is both spayed and microchipped, and reported missing on Petlog and with the vets.   She normally never goes out the front, certainly for never more than 10-15 minutes, so this is definitely new territory for her. There is lots of dense foliage across the road so there are plenty of places she could be hiding if she is spooked, so we are hoping she will come back when she is calm. The weather isn't helping, she never goes out in the rain. Thank you again!
    • Hi, Have you been letting her out the front door onto the street or would this be a first & therefore unfamiliar with the area? Does she respond to a name & is she spayed & microchipped? Our team carry scanners on our daily routes & will of course be looking our for her. I hope you are reunited with her soon. If not already, notify your street & surrounding streets (find out if they have Whatsapp groups) Dox will print & deliver free missing posters https://www.doxdirect.com/help/free-missing-pet-posters/ Call her at dusk & dawn when street & foot traffic is at its lowest.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
    • In good condition.  The seal should be intact.  Thanks
