About: Forest Hill Group Practice

I am not sure how a medical practice is able to operate in this manner - to make anything other than an emergency appointment you have to use eConsult. I was able to select the appointment type at 8am and by the time I had logged in, the capacity for the day had been reached. It was 8:02am.

When I have needed an on the day appointment, I was sent to Tessa Jowell Centre despite living 2 minutes from Forest Hill Road Group practice. My appointment was with a very nice lady but she wasn't a doctor and unfortunately prescribed medication for my son that was inappropriate and the pharmacy refused to dispense the medication.

When I requested the records of my travel vaccinations fromForest Hill Road Group practice , I was sent the medical report of someone with a similar name/date of birth.

This surgery requires immediate attention and intervention so that patients have a chance of making an appointment to see a doctor. I am filled with dread when I know I have to contact this surgery as it is so appallingly managed.

Dear Patient,

Thank you for your feedback, you haven't left any contact information. Please contact the surgery and ask to speak to Oksana our assistant practice manager so she can look in to this further.

Many thanks,

FHRGP
