I find the surgery to be very well organised, generally runs to time, very helpful and friendly staff, really competent and thorough GPs.
We were asked to wait in a room where there were other children waiting to be seen-some of them seemed very sick. I could see another room with toys in and more space, that would have been better than having everyone crowded in together.
I had to wait 52 minutes until someone - finally - was able to answer my call

What difference does my feedback make?
The South East London Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has actioned many of the most common themes that arise from our feedback reports.
For example, when we reported that there could have been more clear information on the vaccination programme, a letter was sent to all Royal Borough of Greenwich residents including information about the booster vaccination, eligibility and how to book the vaccine.
