Need new GP - Forest Hill Rd getting worse

Please address your complaints to the Practice manager; all GP practices are under a great deal of pressure thanks mainly to gov. policy concerning the NHS.

They are also a teaching practice and doctors also follow their specialisms at clinics etc.

I'm a patient of 25 yrs standing.and have been pretty satisfied.

Thanks for the information about a change back to a standard charge phone line. I am a patient at this practice and although I rarely use the doctors I am satisfied and did not change doctors when I moved and other practices would be more convenient. Their use of a premium rate phone number was my only gripe.
I am always surprised when I read that people can't get appointments at Forest Hill Road Group Practice. I've been registered there for around 35 years, and have still never found a problem in getting an appointment. The GP I prefer to see only works part time, and I have to book two or three weeks ahead to see her, which I think is perfectly acceptable. If I need to see a doctor urgently, and explain the reason why, I always get a same day appointment. I've always found that the reception staff go out of their way to be helpful. In 35 years, I've never had to hold on the phone for 15-20 minutes - I think the maximum wait I've ever had is 5 minutes, and that is very rare. I can't comment on the issue of only getting appointments between 9.30-4.30 - if I'm unwell enough to need to see a doctor, then I am happy to take any time that I'm offered.

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
