I've been away for two years and went to make an appointment with my former GP at the Garden's surgery and was told that I was struck off their list as my address (Bellenden Road) is no longer in their catchment. So much for NHS choice.


I have two questions:


1) Do people know if there is any way to overturn this decision? I liked this doctor and would like continuity of care, as I have a complicated medical history.

2) If not, what surgeries do people recommend near Bellenden Road?

I had a similarly frustrating experience with the Gardens and felt I'd been treated v badly - in my case I moved temporarily from one end of Nunhead Lane to the other, before moving back again - literally 3/4months - and was removed from their list. Despite being told of course that's fine..

I may be cynical but I was also experiencing a complicated medical period and felt sceptical as to their reasons for removing me.

I suspect it may also be because you haven't been for two years; I believe GP surgeries are now able to remove you from their list if you dont' use them and/or confirm the registration for two years.

I moved to Nnhead Surgery which is brilliant but a bit far for you maybe. Sorry I can't help more..

      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.
