GP Recommendation??


Abby&Bri

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I have recently moved to ED and loving it! I really need to register with a doctor asap. I have read various reviews but some aren't that recent. Can anyone recommend a practice within a 10 min walk of the heart of ED where you can get a same day appointment without too much drama and there's continuity with the doctors? In my last GP surgery i never saw the same doctor twice, it was a constant stream of locums who really didnt seem to care too much!

Any help much appreciated.

I'm also fairly new to the area and have been happy with 306 Medical Centre on Lordship Lane. It's not that easy to get an appointment quickly but they will do emergency ones depending on the problem (I've had to frequent the surgery all too often in the last 6 months because of my toddler). I also once got a call from the doctor before 9am, having called up at 8 and explained the problem to the manager who answered the phone. There are only two doctors, so you will get the continuity you want, and the receptionist is refreshingly considerate and helpful!

Ive actually had excellent service at Dulwich Medical Centre on Crystal Palace Road. I'm aware that there appeara to be a lot of issues surrounding the practice and I admit that booking an intial appointment to be seen can be an issue but once I was seen, I have seen the same doc everytime, who has been excellent and I have been able to utilise the in house pharmacist and telephone apointments. I even received a call when my repeat prescription was being filled to see if i needed the other medication I had forgotten about - which was unexpected but I thought showed a nice attention to detail and patient care.


They have a psychiatric nurse who runs evening clinics too and they seem to have an excellent relationship with the Lloyds Pharmacy on North Cross Road who are open 7 days a week and evenings. My prescriptions now get sent to the pharmacy and seem to be filled ready for collection almost immediatly.

I have been registered with the Gardens Surgery just off Peckham Rye Park for years. Jane Cliffe is the senior doctor there and literally saved my son's life when he was 8 by correctly diagnosing appendicitis that had untypical symptoms that another doctor might well have discounted. all the doctors there seem ok and the receptionists are lovely.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
