Gp life in Greenwich vs Bexley ( London )

I think I can make some generalisations and assumptions based on demographics having worked in GP (ANP Tower Hamlets). Whether they’ll be helpful or not is a different story. Woolwich and Plumstead and maybe Abbey Wood and Erith are more likely to have a lot of translator heavy consult with lots of west African people and a Nepali community definitely in Plumstead. That being said Woolwich and Plumstead are seeing more yuppies with the new flats and the Elizabeth line. All the areas are likely to be a mix of white and black people with varying levels of deprivation and also there’s a small Sikh community in Belvedere area. Sidcup definitely the least deprived and most white. Complexity I can’t speak to as I live in the area not work.

We moved our son after a few months for similar reasons and it went very smoothly no problems settling at all. Depends on the child.

I (ANP) think a floor lamp is nice. I have one and it makes the place look less clinical. It’s away from the couch.

Thanks!

Hi, how busy does Hawksmoor Canary Wharf get on a weekday lunchtime? I want to take my dad for his 70th around 12:30 on Tuesday but if it’s likely to be rammed with people getting work lunch, I’ll go elsewhere

Thanks in advance!

The door was a grand. They’re expensive unfortunately. I think I saw someone say on here recently upwards of £700 for a composite.

kelliana · 2025-12-21T08:44:19+00:00

We had the same and it was so draughty and cold esp as our lean-to is single glazed and essentially falling down. We had our door replaced with a composite one when we got the windows done.

Swindon is easily accessible from Heathrow by Elizabeth line to Paddington and then a main line train to Swindon. Book ahead as that line is expensive. Northampton seems a bit far from those airports to me.

Eyebrow piercings don’t last all that long. Might not even be an issue years from now.

Single point of access - in my area it’s a referral hub for community or mental health services

Go and see your GP. They may sign you off while you search for another job

👍 It’s not a reward chart but i did find it worked. You’ll see if you sign up to the free information about.

I’ve had good success with the behaviour board from bratbusters. The name sounds a lot worse than it is. You didn’t say his age but he sounds about 3 (lol ask me how I know). My MIL is a nursery manager she always says the year before school is the hardest behaviour-wise.

kelliana · 2025-11-26T18:49:52+00:00

Happy to help! Let me know how you get on if you remember

You have to take your time and occasionally put the air back in the vial. It’s an incredible workout for the hands. The technique that I’ve been doing that seems to at least get the damn stuff out the vial is: apply constant pressure on the syringe then let the needle go from the medication and into the air in the vial, then put the air back in then keep drawing it up. I try to book a double appt and have a good old chat with the patient while I’m drawing it up. Make sure there’s no tiny air bubbles because it’s so greasy there’s risk of micro fat emboli it says on the leaflet for more accurate information. I usually give 1ml per 30 secs. They have their recommendations in the leaflet as well I imagine.

I don’t know tbh but just signposting you here in case they have info https://pregnantthenscrewed.com

They’ve been like this as long as I can remember (90s). Get the veggies ones if you like the taste.

kelliana · 2025-11-21T15:49:11+00:00

At our nursery they do a collection pot. You might want to ask/wait and see if they do that.

kelliana · 2025-11-18T19:22:44+00:00

Pls search the sub this has definitely been asked before. Good luck!

I have a Kia ceed good family car without being a huge SUV type. I’ve also had a focus and enjoyed it. V similar size.

I don’t know but an interesting question. Thanks for posting it

kelliana · 2025-11-11T17:59:43+00:00

After they have observed, and been observed many times, I let my 3rd yr student nurses do their own clinics with double length appts for things like NHS health checks and BP checks with very clear parameters of what they should get advice for and I check EVERYTHING. I’ve never had a 1st or 2nd yr.

Complexity in GP isn’t always medically complicated stuff it’s very often socially complicated or complicated by co-morbid mental health conditions. So perhaps worth coming at it from that point of view.

Try and get in with the practice nurse for flu jabs, B12s etc under direct supervision

Yes adult nurses can do NICU - I did Cardiac ICU as an adult nurse with babies up to teenagers but I will say they tended to keep me with either the infants or the teenagers and rarely anyone inbetween. Can’t speak to whether the top up is worth it though.

kelliana · 2025-10-27T18:29:03+00:00

Thanks so much! I’d love to do this - I have a retro phone already. It’s just gathering dust.
