I'm registered there - trying to be diplomatic, I opt to see the female GP rather than the male one. I found her incredibly helpful over the last couple of years.


The practice nurse is fine, offer some decent services. Booking appointments.... if you don't mind who you see then you can get an appt fairly promptly, if you are specific it can take a week. Having said that, i've had some same day appts by getting cancellation appts.

I really like them here - I've been with them for 10 years and they're really helpful. If ever I've needed an appointment for one of the children I always get one that day which I think is brilliant. Saying that luckily most of our ailments over the years have been very minor - not sure what they're like for serious issues. x
The only problem we have had in 15 or so years is that after having routine check-up blood tests I was supposed to contact them to enquire after results (which I wasn't told) whereas if there is a problem with the blood tests then my experience with other surgeries is that they will contact you.

Unfortunately, we're not in the catchment area for The Gardens and DMC are a nightmare. Looking for somewhere where you can book an appointment without having to wait 3 weeks and the doctors are half decent! Doesn't seem to be easy.

I hear lots of good things about The Gardens, so it's a real shame we can't register.

    • I don't think there are stupid questions Sue.  There are informative questions, policy questions, normative questions.... You suggest to do a sort of survey! Interesting idea but not for me as I have other priorities and if I do not address these with NHS doctors I will go, once again, privately.  In any case as many people using this forum know, GP surgeries in England offer at present services that in most cases do not and cannot cover matters that are under the remit of secondary care - for instance rheumatologists clinics in hospitals. If the dismantlement of NHS England will bring possible positive changes also in primary care with more choices for people  I do not know but I would really hope so because at the moment lot of people with chronic rheumatic conditions  fall into the cracks  of he system, that means are not seen by NHS rheumatologists that have long queues and cannot be cured by GPs neither in most cases, even when (I am sure about this and I would like to know more) there are physicians and local GPs fully qualified and experts to do such jobs even if they are not rheumatologists!    Thank you for your time Sue and by the way  if you do any survey like the one you mentioned please let us know. 
    • There was a thread about this a year ago that included a post from the new owners. Be great to have an update - nothing seemed to be happening when I walked by last week. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/343709-kenro-press-empty-shop-forest-hill-road/#comment-1662773
    • And don't the Veolia collection teams wear uniforms with Southwark Council logo on them...this might explain why the councillors were so keen to point out the lorry wasn't operated by the council because if you saw a load of people clambering out of the cab of a lorry one that just rolled wearing clothing emblazoned with the council logo you might think it was being operated by the council. The Helen Hayes reference is weird as well it was almost as if the councillor post was: this is awful, nothing to do with us, speak to Helen.
