You?re right Friernlocal. Apparently someone there had the virus so they?ve closed. I phoned Chadwick and did explain that there was nothing on the website to inform patients of this and no recorded message to re-divert phone calls or give patients the Chadwick Road number but I?m not sure anything will be done to rectify that. So anyone who is a patient at DMC, ring the Chadwick Road number.

I have just had my repeat prescription rejected by Dulwich Medical Centre Online with no explanation. I have tried to call but there is no answer even though they are supposedly open. They offer no appointments of any kind on the Patient Access app. The very generic DMC website gives no explanation of how to make an appointment other than to email an address that is a broken link. I am really furious. I have run out of one of my meds and although this is not the end of the world, what would someone with a serious problem actually do?

Call DMC at Chadwick Road.


They are open (not face to face)


They have been dealing with me and I have had a couple of Telephone appointments

and they have arranged blood tests.


I was able to go there and pick up Blood Test forms.


60 Chadwick Rd, Peckham, London SE15 4PU


Hours: Closes 7:30PM


Phone: 020 7639 9622


You can get to speak to speak to someone.


Hope they can sort you out.

Thank you very much Dulwich Fox for this information. I will hold onto it in case more problems. I went down to the Practice and spoke to the receptionist through the intercom. She is arranging for a pharmacist to call me today. I think it's really bad practice to reject a prescription renewal request without explanation or advanced warning, especially at this moment where services are stretched and it is so hard to make contact with medical professionals.

I think in an emergency the pharmacist who normally deals with your prescription would give you at least enough to tide you over until the GP could clarify.


Glad you've sorted it out, anyway!


ETA: I have recently set up a system (Echo, used by Lloyds pharmacy in North Cross Road) to get repeat prescriptions by post, and much to my absolute amazement it has so far worked.


Obviously I set the dates they were due well in advance of the actual date, given our current dire postal service ....

I tried a similar system to Echo and found it was terrible and that was before the Covid-19 issues. I now collect from Sadlers on LL since I can no longer collect the green prescription scripts and they've been excellent.


They've come a long way from when it was a 1980s chemist relic.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
