My gp surgery is awful, I wait on the phone for half an hour or longer anytime I call, then when I get through I cannot get an appointment.


It is a big surgery and only has one doctor on most days. The nurse is only in 2 days per week and not for full days.


My daughter had surgery recently and I was advised to get her dressings changed two days later, I called to try to make an appointment for this two days in advance and was told no nurse would be in for the next few days. I had to take her to a walk in centre and wait for hours to get the dressings changed, which I was not happy with as she had just had surgery and should be resting at home.


Now a week later I have tried to get an appointment with a doctor as her wound appears to be infected and cannot get one for today.


If you are happy with your doctors could you advise:


- Can you get an appointment on the day if you call in the morning if it is urgent?

- Do you regularly see the same doctor? Or are they all locums?

- Is there more than one or two doctors available per day?

- Is there a nurse working each day?


Please advise as I have had enough of not getting any help from my surgery especially when it concerns my daughter.

    • I would also like to recommend Andy for plumbing. I had a leak under my kitchen tap and he was able to visit and resolve the issue in the same day. Prompt and efficient service and very professional. 
    • It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients. 
    • Thanks CPR Dave for the link to Southwark's leaf cleaning schedule. Good to see that.   I think that what may have happened was the leaves weren't cleared during the scheduled week for Whateley Road, which was w/c 17 November.  Then they were cleared a couple of weeks ago instead. We have been here through all of autumn,  and there has been a steady build-up of leaves on this stretch since October.  At one point there was a deep layer to wade through. The photos I posted were from 17 December, and as you can see,  the leaves had been trampled and compressed into the ground. It looked a lot worse at times.   Lots of school kids from the primary school walk up and down this pavement.   In case this happens next year,  I have found a contact page about streets https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/contact-us-about-transport-and-roads - so I could ask them what their plans are.  
    • Amrutha is excellent, unless you are died in the wool meat and two veg most will find the food to their taste and it certainly isn't a place that expects you to be a sandal wearing vegan. Recommend Matoon too, there are many great places in SE23, SE4 and SE26 if you get chance to get on a bus. Don't have takeaways very often and would only do this when they employ their own delivery people due to all the issues with the slave labour that is Deliveroo and the like (and numerous other issues).  Yes it is a different thread but I can't stop myself reminding people.
