treehugger Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Our wonderful kind, empathetic and knowledgable family doctor for the last 25 years, Rebecca Scorer, is retiring on Thursday. I only found out today because I had an appointment. A great GP to my family, I am now realising what a wonderful service we are losing as the NHS struggles through lack of funding. We wish her every happiness in her retirement. Thank you, Dr Scorer.

singalto Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Oh no... They are the two GPS I really trust at that surgery. Most of the others only seem to stay for a few months.😥 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/161251-dr-scorer-retires-forest-hill-clinic/#findComment-1160168 Share on other sites More sharing options...

caz Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Sad to hear that. A few years ago Dr Scorer diagnosed skin cancer on my ear when multiple others had been prescribing cream for a skin condition. I'll be forever thankful to her. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/161251-dr-scorer-retires-forest-hill-clinic/#findComment-1160230 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsR Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I am very sad that Dr Scorer is retiring - I wish her all the best. She was a lovely doctor who saw me through my two pregnancies 20 and 17 years ago.

wolis Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I echo all the plaudits for Dr. Scorer. She'll be missed by so many patients for her great personality and manner as well as her professional qualities. So sorry to see her go.

dds29 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I totally endorse the sentiments above;and share the fears for the increasing instability of GP surgeries, all due to the NHS 'reforms'(without the resources to go with them.) If you can't rely on a familiar face at the Doctor's then God help us all.

Penguin68 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 GPs have relatively little to do with the NHS compared with, say, hospital services - they are private contractors into it, paid by the NHS for primary care services (mainly) on a capitation basis. Practices used to be made up of partners with perhaps a trainee or salaried doctor or two. Increasingly that business model is being eroded, but the NHS has little to do with that. There are certainly pressures placed on GP practices by NHS requirements and contract changes, but the presence or absence of 'regular' GPs isn't necessarily directly influenced by GP practice contracts. Dr Scorer, as I understand it, is retiring, which she is certainly entitled to do. And she will certainly be missed, as were other doctors who have retired from this practice. If she is to be replaced by another partner that will be good, as that will ensure a new stream of continuity of care. Does anyone know?

George Orwell Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 It's interesting to note that Dr Knoxley Greaves "retired" about 9 months ago without anybody seeming to know or comment about it. The receptionists say he's retired; he's left the practice although he's still apparently the named doctor for some patients. He's also been spotted doing locum work in SW London.

miss T Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Dr McColl has been my doctor for years and I cant get any information about her 'extended leave'. I really hope she is okay and will be back soon, she is sorely missed. I hope if anyone finds out anything they will post it Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/161251-dr-scorer-retires-forest-hill-clinic/#findComment-1161995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
