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..

      Be careful in local shops

      There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year.

      Be careful in local shops

      I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Sue · Posted

      As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
