Hi everyone,

Unfortunately one of my teenagers is struggling with their mental health at the moment. I've known for years that our current GP practice is pretty rubbish, but lucky for us we haven't been ill very much, so it hasn't mattered! Looking to move now, and hopefully to somewhere where there is a least one permanent doctor with an interest in adolescent mental health.

Anyone got any recommendations?

A doctor who will listen to my child, and not just say, "we don't deal with that."

thanks in advance!

The Gardens surgery has a social prescriber who can help to point patients with mental health issues to appropriate sources of help.

I don't know if any of the GPs specialise in this area specifically, but I've always found them sympathetic.

If you go onto their website and click on "meet the team" you can click on each GP and see what their particular interests are.

Their website says they are currently accepting new patients, but I presume you would have to be in their catchment area.

If you are, you could maybe discuss your question with an appropriate person there before you register?

      Are Our Victorian Streets Secretly an Obstacle Course? 🚗😅

      By Lebanums · Posted

      Is it just me, or are some of the cars around East Dulwich now roughly the size of a modest one-bed flat? Our lovely Victorian streets were designed for horses, carts and the occasional penny-farthing — not rolling apartment blocks on wheels. Earlier today someone tried to pass me while driving squarely down the middle of the road, seemingly too terrified to move over in case their wing mirror brushed a leaf. We ended up in a sort of slow-motion standoff that felt less “road sharing” and more “Wild West showdown”. I completely understand wanting a safe, comfy car — but when the vehicle is wider than the street and both drivers need a deep breathing exercise just to squeeze past each other, it might be time to ask whether the car fits the postcode. Maybe we need Victorian-era width limits reinstated… or complimentary tape measures issued with every CPZ permit? 😉

      Excellent news! I googled and came up with a thread from this forum about Jamie being forced out. I had posted the link, but when I read the thread I didn't think it was appropriate to post because  It was started by Dulwich Fox, who sadly died last year (R.I.P.), and contained comments by and to him which were not relevant to the actual closure.
