Dulwich Medical Centre warning

[tomwalkerhome]

Until recently if one had an emergency out if hours one coukd call Celkdic...who in our case can arrange so I could pick up emergency medication locally...my wife had brain surgery and has to have specific prescribed drugs...now you call 111..who send an email to your Pharmacy...where the pharmacist cannot dispense them....suggesting only that you go to a and e ...which last two times we went took 9.5 hours...and almost killed my wife with the anxiety....it seems a common practise now to shrug and pass the buck. And Dulwich Medical Centre itself is even worse a wall of unqualified people who can't help....from a surgery owned by a guy who earns a million quid a year...need I say more

This is a Southwark-wide change from SELDOC to 111 so not just DMC.

"A wall of unqualified people who can't help"?

Would you care to expand on that, please?

Also, I have recently unfortunately had to go to A&E four times, and after triage they prioritise patients according to need.

If you have to wait a long time it is because there are more urgent cases.

If you don't like the long waiting times, blame the government for underfunding the NHS.

ETA: I have also had to call 111 several times recently, and I absolutely can't fault the service.

ETA: I think you should change the totally misleading subject of this thread.

ETA: And if somebody is making money out of running a surgery, then I suggest you blame the system which allows them to do that. You cannot blame somebody for taking advantage of it, surely.

I blame the Tories, but then I would.

Posting as admin: please adjust the title as pp suggested as the content does not indicate that this is a specific complaint about DMC.

Are you also sure you want this posted in the family discussion specifically?

Admin, are you able to change the title yourself if the OP doesn't or won't?

And move it to a more appropriate section of the forum?
