Melbourne Grove Surgery doesn?t exist anymore. It is now called Tessa Jowell and is in the new health centre in the grounds of Dulwich Hospital in East Dulwich Grove.

Avoid Forest Hill Road practice.

There is supposed to be nine doctors working there according to their website but you can never get an appointment to see them. The waiting room is always empty whenever I go to collect my prescription.

I would love to find out how many hours these doctors work.

I've been with Forest Hill Road surgery for over 40 years, and have always found them to be brilliant. Without exception, I've always been able to get a same day appointment when I've needed it, and have never had to wait an unreasonably long time for a routine appointment. There seems to have been quite a turnover of doctors over the last couple of years, but all of the doctors I've seen/spoken to recently have been excellent. The reception staff are always really helpful and go out of their way to help.

I've also had good experiences with The Gardens. I couldn't recommend DMC in Crystal Palace Road. My experience was that they take on far more patients than they can really take care of. When they couldn't give me an appointment they used to send me the to a walk-in clinic in Peckham.

Despite bad reviews, Tessa Jowell centre (formerly Melbourne Grove practice) is reliable and good, i.e. you can get an appointment on the day if you ring up, new receptionists (not always good or friendly but in my experience that is commonplace anyway). Quality of doctors is excellent in my experience.

My mother had a telephone appointment with a locum on Tuesday from 306 and explained everything clearly to her.


I've had appointments with Dr Chowdhery's nephew and again he was clear and concise.

      Big Garden Birdwatch

      By Mabaker · Posted

      For anyone interested in the conservation of birds, here's a reminder that It's the RSPB  bird survey this weekend. Anyone can take part and it's completely free. Just register on the RSPB website and download your bird identifier. It takes just one hour of your time to count the number and type of bird you see in your garden or local park. The more people taking part, the better we can track how well our birds are doing. It's a great activity to do with the kids and grandkids.

      I would support bringing back some sort of sanction for not turning up (if it's not still in force).  But I think a sanction that reduces your ability to book in advance (say you go from 7 to 3 days advance) rather than a fine would be more effective and easier on the staff who work there.  It would also be more effective for rich people who might not care about paying the fines. Or you could just fine say the top 5 worst offenders in a month, which would probably take out those who had a genuine one-off emergency so couldn't turn up.

      Dulwich Leisure Centre, seriously - how do you book a swim?!

      Whether a pool is overcrowded or not, the absence of the lifeguard is the critical factor here. To use this tragic anecdote as a reason to disregard valid points about accessibility is a reach too far and designed to emotionally blackmail anyone who disagrees with the status quo. At least some - not all - of the hours of operation ought to be for drop-ins as has been standard for decades. (Overcrowding is easily prevented with the use of wristbands and/or headcount at ticket desk, etc. - as was the case before Covid.)
