dulwich medical centre

[ska valley]

Dulwich Medical Centre appear to be an oversubscribed surgery. Given the near impossible task of getting through to them on the phone and the sobering experience of having to explain one's symptoms to the receptionist (hardly a medical person)in the unlikely event of finally getting through, the answer, invariably, is: Sorry, fully booked - try again tomorrow. If they were a school, the pupils would be able to attend class once a fortnight. This is simply unacceptable.

They have clearly stuffed their books with more patients than they can cope with in order to benefit from the patient premium. This smacks of greed and runs counter to all tenets of patient care. My family and I are so sickened by this that we will be looking elsewhere. It would be great if more people boycotted this type of surgeries so that such shameful practices become less prevalent
