Telegraph Hill - Doctors

Recommended Posts

Afternoon All,


I will soon be departing E Dulwich and moving to Telegraph Hill with the family, I know T Hill has a forum, I'm just waiting to be set up (apparently!)


Talking to a friend I understand a lot of people who live there still use the EDF!


So, I wondered if anyone could recommend a local surgery around there? I'm currently at DMC on Crystal Palace Road.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,


Frankie

If you have a good Doctor then keep him, ED is only ten minutes drive away. The voice of experience!!!


The Turnham Rd Group Practice and Queens Rd Practice are near: large multi doctor practices, I have seen one of the surgeries packed with 20 people in an evening queue to see the receptionists and a warning notice on one practice wall to only discuss one problem at an appointment. There is the Waldron Centre too near New Cross station but with multi doctor practices that large, the more people attending a practice the more likely you are to catch something else. There is one small surgery on the hill in Vesta Rd with two doctors who are very nice but very slow. Suggest you read the NHS reviews. The best Doctor in the area was closed down as his practice was a house with no disabled access.


Yes, we do tend to use the EDF, Telegraph Hill is as it says just a hill and small surrounding area. It is an old plague burial ground so it is not permitted to trade on it and open shops etc, although the Hill Cafe get away with it and quite a bit goes on at the community centre, so it is very nice but very quiet, you have to go to ED for anything interesting. I was born here nearly 60 years ago so I know it well. You dont need a cleaner when you get here do you?. I advertize on Trades and Services on THF- anne maple 100. Best of luck in your new home.

I lived on Telegraph Hill for 7 years and recently moved. I have stayed with my doctor at Queen's Rd Practice (Dr. Henry Butler) who used to have the aforementioned surgery on Gellatley Rd which closed as it was a converted house. He is brilliant and whenever I have had to see another doctor at short notice, all of them at QRP have been excellent and very conscientious. They operate an emergency appointment system and yes, you may need to wait for an appointment after hours but they do their best to accommodate you the same day. David, one of the receptionists, couldn't be more helpful. A shout out, too, for Lloyd's Pharmacy round the corner, too. They will organise your repeat prescriptions and couldn't be more helpful.


Good luck with your move to TH. It is a lovely spot.

I was gutted to move from SE15 where I was registered with the Nunhead Grove surgery to SE14, knowing I'd have to reregister (keeping GP out of catchment has never been an option for me Anne Maple?) - Did loads of research into which practices were recommended - think there's one on Vesta Road that had broadly good feedback but the Queens Rd Partnership had the edge and is closer to us. It's big, across two locations, shabby, and busy, but they've been brilliant so far - my partner was badly injured in a bike accident and had several appointments there and I had reason during pregnancy to see a doctor urgently who was great.


We also had to use the walk-in clinic at the Waldron Centre in New Cross - they were also good - and if we were a bit closer I might have chosen to register with the GPs there as it's popular and nice.


Hope that helps!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
