Mustard Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Is there a notice on the door? If so, what does it say? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/80922-dulwich-medical-centre-not-closed-down/#findComment-919765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulwichFox Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 They sometimes close for 1/2 day for staff training sessions.. They have 100's of registered patients.. I cannot see it has closed without warning.. ??

leavespaceforbikes Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 DMC at CPR were answering the phone yesterday and offering appointments for next week, so I don't see how it can be closed -it might have been closed for staff training?

SebsC Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I've just spoken to them (on CPR) 2 mins ago so definitely not closed! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/80922-dulwich-medical-centre-not-closed-down/#findComment-919771 Share on other sites More sharing options...

minder Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 60,000 hellosailor? I don't doubt you and that is shocking!My daughter is away at university in her second year and has tried to access a doctor's appointment. I can't remember the last time she went to the doctor and so I know she is desperate. I've even offered to phone on behalf of her but she doesn't want me to. Apparently they have an on-line booking system! So daughter wouldn't be able to get an appointment until nearly two weeks away.

hpsaucey Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 When I visit my Mum's in Market Harborough I can get an appointment at her local clinic without ANY problem on the day - I've had to do this a couple of times as well as using their walk-in local hospital service. Frankly it's quicker for me to get the train to Market Harborough and ask for an appointment than it is for me to get an appointment at 'my' doctors - DMC.

Ron70 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I had a minor operation earlier this week which was carried out at Kings College Hospital. The follow up was to have a dressing changed daily. I was offered an appointment for 25 Nov to change a dressing (yes a month later)! Now going to Peckham (Lister) to have this done. What's the point of having a medical centre with zero capacity? If the numbers stated earlier (60,000) are correct it's clear why this place is not fit for purpose...
