Hi there,


I'm new to the area and have an eleven month old baby. We are currently looking to register with a GP surgery and wondered if anyone has any recommendations. I'm aware that most GP surgeries carry the same types of grievances (difficulty getting an appointment, rude reception staff etc.) and while I'd like to avoid them, that's not my main concern; my priority is finding somewhere with a good baby clinic/health visitor/child GP system where it's easy to get my baby seen to quickly if he's ill and where there is an efficient system in place for him to get jabs, do the standard check ups etc. Competent Health Visitors would also be a bonus!


Lordship Lane Surgery, 306 Medical Centre and Dulwich Medical Centre (CP Rd) are the three coming up closest to us on the NHS Choice website, so any opinions about those ones specifically would be much appreciated.


I'm sorry if this has been addressed before - I've done a search and have not found any threads about GP surgeries specifically relevant to young children but if there is one, I'd love to be pointed in the right direction.


Many thanks in advance.

Think HVs based at Townley Road clinic and that it does not matter which GP you are with you access HV via there, and that GP (DMC) expects me to keep on top of which jabs when, but appmt availability etc for that is fine. Also if you say appmt needed is for a child they do usually try to accomodate. HV I have always found an irrelevance once initial weighing stage over, but that is just me. They are there at Townley Road if needed.

    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
