Construction work has now begun on the new health centre at the site of the old Dulwich hospital. The NHS in Southwark is now looking how we can improve the services provided at the new health centre, including general practice services. Find out more about the proposals here - http://www.southwarkccg.nhs.uk/our-plans/improving-services-in-dulwich-and-the-surrounding-areas/stage4/Pages/Developing-our-general-practice-services.aspx


The NHS would like to hear what people think is important about the 8am to 8pm service currently provided at the Lister Health Centre in Peckham and what they would like to see improved.


Please help by completing this short survey by 6 July 2018 - https://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/survey/28a33015/


If you have already completed the survey, there is an extra question to answer here - https://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/survey/bd25f94c/


If you require a paper copy, please email [email protected].

The additional question is (in my view) important.


We are considering moving the 8 to 8 service to the new Dulwich Health Centre from 2020, possibly with some 8 to 8 services still provided at the Lister Primary Care Centre in Peckham. Which of the following would you prefer?

- Dulwich

- Dulwich and Lister

- Lister

- Don?t know

Please explain: .....

Note that the version of the survey for users of the Hambleden Clinic or Melbourne Grove surgery


1. Has a closing date of today, 22 June.

2. Is purportedly not just about the 8-to-8 service, and some very general questions, but also has one specific question, number 30, about user preferences in awarding of the new GP contracts at those surgeries after the current ones end on 31 March 2019.


As the CCG's letter of 7 March to users of those surgeries said:


"We would like to tell you more information about this proposal [the move to Dulwich Hospital] and to make sure that your views are taken into account when deciding who manages GP services in your surgery by telling us what you value about the current service and what you would like to see improved. This will help us to choose the most relevant provider and that the decision is in the best interests of patients and staff."


"You can contribute your views in the following ways:"


"** Attend the meeting on 22 March, 6:30-8:00pm at Dulwich Hospital...

** Complete a paper survey which will be available at the meeting or can be sent to you.

** Complete an online survey that will be available after the meeting."


Question 30 is "Is there anything else that you would like us to take into account when making a decision about appointing a new GP services organisation to run your GP surgery?"


I don't think this is a satisfactory way of canvassing or obtaining full opinions about such an important matter as the type of GP practice people want. I do fear it may be the only opportunity proffered. I don't incidentally recollect the question even being raised at the 22 March meeting.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
