  1. Morrisons in Peckham have an instore laundrette with large machines and dryers It's excellent,thoroughly recommend. https://www.24laundromat.com/
  2. thanks ,I hadn't thought of bird flu. That's a good poin I've contacted a bird charity . thanks for advice.
  3. Bad luck Alice. Agree with Heart block and Sue's excellent posts. I did find when I had it earlier this year that it took a long g time before I didn't have a positive test.
  4. A pedestrian was killed in a collision .A lorry was involved. Sympathies for all involved.
  5. Oh gosh Sue that sounds worrying. How on earth do the poor staff cope I wonder. And the poor patients. What an old fuddy duddy I feel , being surprised by how important technology is and our dependence on it . Ah well, glad I'm not a policeman in NI.
  6. Thanks for comments. I think I'd conflated ultrasound scan with CT scan and D assumed if they could refer for the first they could refer for the latter.
  7. Speaking to GP at forest hill rd yesterday , told that she couldn't refer me for the CT scan that was required after the ultrasound scan I'd had was unclear. Instead I'm being referred back to ST Thomas's where I had surgery 10 years ago. Surgery could be linked to issue under investigation so I can see logic of this. But don't understand the clear " I can't refer for a CT " is that the case(some?) surgeries can't refer for CT scans? Am I being dense ?
  8. Came across this Intro of new IT https://selondonccg.nhs.uk/what-we-do/epic-implementation-2023/ and found it interesting , especially this extract from advice To Gps file:///media/fuse/drivefs-23422b7b853ebb5ad1dbceed2c9c361b/root/Apollo-overview-for-GPs-KCH-and-GSTT.pdf In line with other Trusts who have launched new, large-scale electronic health records, both Guy’s and St Thomas’ and King’s are planning to reduce the amount of routine, planned care activity we carry out in the run up to, during, and after go-live of the Epic system. Urgent and emergency activity will be running at normal levels. - This will help ensure the system launches successfully, with minimum impact on the care we provide for patients. However, we do appreciate this will mean extended waiting times for some patients on the waiting list for routine planned care, and further information will follow ahead of launch detailing how this will be managed at both Trusts in a way that keeps the impact on patients to a minimum. - Synnovis is also planning delays to the processing of routine tests while they embed the new Epic system. More detail on this – including the potential impact on GPs requesting tests – will also be provided in due course. and this Pathology activity in GP practices should be reduced to 10% from October 5 to October 9. During this time only urgent pathology requests will be processed. Following this period, routine pathology activity will increase each day over a period of two weeks until normal levels resume. We will continue to keep you informed as we progress. You will be able to order tests but you will need to ask patients not to book tests before October 9 as they cannot be processed by the laboratory. It is important not to take routine blood or urine samples from patients during this time. Please note that samples cannot be stored, either at the practice or the laboratory, because they will degrade. As you undertake your planning we request that you divert resources or appointments between October 5 to October 9 for other activity such as cervical smears or vaccinations. Urgent samples will continue to be processed and some community and non-urgent services which will continue as normal. from https://selondonccg.nhs.uk/what-we-do/epic-implementation-2023/ I've used the expression "short term delay" because I was trying not to be alarmist. Given the pressure on the NHS,I feel any delay will have a ripple effect and cause delays down the road.

  10. I would have liked to attend Southwark's meeting at the library on Wednesday. I see that you need to book as " space will be limited " Having tried to do so, I've been put on a "wait list". Have others found the same ? Any ideas on how many lucky people will be allowed to attend ?
  11. I've put in an animal removal request to Southwark but would be distressing for small children to see .
  12. gaby -so glad you recommended Milford .I had a problem with a radiator ,phoned him yesterday (Sat) and he was with me on Sunday morning . He sorted my radiator ,happily looked at some taps for me and will be coming back to fit a new pair and install some isolation valves .
