Hello and welcome CT.

You obviously didn't get karter.

I'll do my best to get a photo of him to you, so that if he is ever in your ward you can do that whole replacing-the-rectal-thermometer-with-a-daffodil-up-the-arse that they did to James Robertson-Justice in that film.

What was it again? The Seventh Seal?

Anyway I reckon there'd be 34 nurses in Dulwich.

I doubt Karter would be on my ward, as i am a gynaecology nurse. LOL

But you never know. :)

So you'd be in a better position than most to tell him to stop acting the...you know maybe sometimes it's best to emulate the British Charles Bronson and just not finish a sentence.

There used to be lots of nurses in ED, working at both Dulwich Hospital, King's and further afield. They often shared flats or houses quite locally, anytthing from two to six per property, or lived in the Nurses' homes at Both Dulwich & St Francis Hospitals. I'd be surpised if many can still afford to do the first, and the second is now impossible as the Homes have been demolished.


So actually the question is a damned good one....:'(

Hmmm, I guess it would depend upon what kind of nurses were covered by the description.


The Royal College of Nursing has 49,000 members in London covering a population of 6 million. This means they're on average of 0.8% of the total population.


Apply this to ED ward's 5,000 residents and you'd come to around 40-50.


However, as SimonM pointed out, we've got a couple of hospitals nearby and we're comparatively middle class and cheap compared with some of our neighbours. We've also got some dedicated housing.


I wouldn't be surprised if they were 4-5 times higher than average - 200 or more?


Would it be on the census?

I know dozens of nurses who live in East Dulwich, and some of them can even afford it, imagine that!


We have a good bus connection from West Dulwich to St Thomas's Hospital, rail links from East and West Dulwich to Guys and Lewisham hospitals and a large hospital at Kings and East Dulwich. There is large a health centre on Townley Road (base for district nurses and health visitors) and many GP practices (practice nurses). There are schools of nursing and midwifery at Southbank and Kings College Uni (also good rail and bus links). The base for NHS direct is in Beckenham (http://www.citylifeltd.org/uploads/gallery/Huw_Edwards.jpg) - also great rail links.

Well there's a nurse in the flat next door to me and another two doors up. Assuming this sequence is repeated throughout ED, I reckon there's at least 10,000 nurses in these here parts. In fact there must be a lot of firemen living here too because I'm one and I know there's one other in my road.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
