I am currently registered with Dulwich Medical Centre (Crystal Palace Road) and absolutely frustrated and disappointed, this is just the worst GP practice I ever came across in London. There are good doctors there but getting an appointment is an absolute nigthmare, you need to wait 1 month for your appointment. Also I once booked an appointment to have a blood test done by the nurse and it was the worse experience ever. The poor girl didn?t have much experience and was "playing" with my veins, I was in so much pain but trying to be patience as I could see she was a beginner. I rather to go to the hospital and queue for a blood test than book another appointment with the nurse. Anyway, 3 years of bad experience and I am willing to move to another GP practice in East Dulwich but wondering if anyone can recommend a surgery with good doctors and that you don?t need to wait 1 month for an appointment? Any suggestions??


Many thanks!

I'm at Forest Hill Road Group Practice, which I think is good. However, it's also struggling with appointments for non-urgent matters - the first available is 7 April at the moment - due in part to a recent influx of patients from other practices I understand. You can sign up for Patient Access and book appointments online which is great. And they are pretty good when you need an urgent appointment - my better half got a same day appointment for a recent nasty chest infection without any problems (he was in a bad way though!).

I checked Melbourne Grove but the reviews are as bad as Dulwich Medical Centre... :(


So far The Gardens have the best reviews but I will wait for more opinions. I think that is unnaceptable to have to wait 1 month for an appointment. I work in a GP practice in Clapham Junction and people get appointments within 1 or 2 days.



Anyway, I know my veins are very tricky but usually I don?t have problems... the nurse was trying hard, so hard that I could feel her adjusting the needle inside my vein which, trust me, it was a very unpleasant experience. At some point I feel like I was going to faint but anyway, this is not the main problem with the Practice, main problem is getting appointments and also, they are not great in solving problems, they just make things more complicated. I feel sorry for the receptionists there!


Thanks for your help!!

      Why would you have to look for "a good reason to not vote for the greens"? What a very strange thing to say. Would you like to explain your logic?

      This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".
