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.

    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?
