I've been with 306 for 8 years along with my elderly mother. They've adapted the way they treat her as she finds it difficult to handle which has been excellent.


One of the GPs Dr Kolah is excellent. Reception staff are largely good as well.

I really didn’t like TJ - the setting is noisy and intimidating it feels like going into hospital. I also had unhelpful treatment from 2 doctors. I changed to DMC Chadwick Road and I think they’re brilliant. White and blue walls, natural light, human interaction and a kind, professional approach it made me feel at ease.

For the purposes of the ONS Covid study, it is a hospital. Do remember that the surgery is co-located with a number of out-stationed hospital departments (e.g. phlebotomy) moved from the old Dulwich Hospital. The GP Surgery is just one of the tenants of the site.

TJ is awful. Near impossible to get appointments, unhelpful receptionists, only phone appointments when you actually are offered an appointment.

We moved to DMC which is as you say also awful. They also appear connected as I was offered an appointment at TJ when the appointments had gone at DMC.

I know people happy with the Gardens and the surgery on Lordship Lane which someone above has recommended.

Shameful what has become of our GP surgeries in the last few years. Underfunding coming to the fore and European GPs left in droves due to Brexit.

All of the ED surgeries are part of Improving Health Limited which is a GP federation of 16 practices in Dulwich, Peckham, Nunhead and Camberwell that supports each other. So for example 306 Medical Centre is independent, but can refer patients to other surgeries such as Tessa Jowell. During the Covid vaccination programme, patients could go to Tessa Jowell or the Lister Health Centre in Peckham for vaccinations.

Happy to be corrected but I believe SELDOC and the GP surgery at TJ are separate entities and provide different services. SELDOC provide out of hours services and were previously based in Dulwich Hospital whereas the GP surgery was formerly in Melbourne Grove.


Edit: also South East London CCG do not “run” the GP surgery:a clinical commissioning group is, or was, an NHS body responsible for ensuring the health needs of an area are provided. The CCGs were replaced in July by Integrated Care Boards.

The same GP, Dr. Jonathan Love, who was in charge of Melbourne Grove, also in charge of Tessa Jowell. They also took over another GP surgery before they moved to the new TJ building. They also have the same practice manager, who I don’t have faith in. From what I remember, the practice manager is not solely based at at TJ but also works from a surgery at Camberwell called Parkside. That could have changed since Covid.

Not ideal.

Parkside and Tessa Jowell are both owned by Omnes.

306 definitely sounds much better than some locally. I took my son to TJ the other day for his polio booster and the receptionists were rude (stressed but no excuse) and some appointments had been moved to Lister so some patients arriving to find they were in the wrong place.

Melbourne Grove as it was had its issues but TJ is atrocious.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
