Have a look at the NHS Choices website. One poster said that they had a receptionist admit that they had no GPs at the practice on one particular day. Perhaps this is quite common and the receptionists have been told not to admit to this fact. How is is possible to have no GPs, not even a locum at a surgery?

"What a stressful way to live if you have a sick child - ready to do battle......so sad."


Prepares you for when you're fighting for medical attention for an elderly parent though .


Hope people don't think that's an irrelevant comment in the "family " section of the forum .

I've never had an issue with getting an appointment at dmc I'm shocked so many people have ...the nlyproblem I've found is the phone system


I insist on appointments when necessary and they've always managed to see any member of my family. Maybe it's making clear that its vital to see someone and no I have no intention of telling a receptionist the details of my issue

I have been corresponding with Lucy who says that they have the correct number of gps for their patient load, that they will be making some changes to try to improve access and anybody who has concerns can discuss with her directly

      Tree Dulwich Park

      By Sue · Posted

      This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?

      SIM card for spare mobile

      By Sue · Posted

      I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?

      I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.

      Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
