I today tried to register at Jenner, based on the reviews here and on NHS Choices but I was not allowed to, due to not living in the catchment area. So was restricted more or less to the Forest Hill practice - less good scores, but let's hope.

I don't understand all this stuff about choice the NHS and social care is always on about if this is the outcome - no choice?

Actually when I lived in North Kensington I was with an excellent surgery in Notting Hill, which was a bit of a step away. They thought this was unremarkable. It was only when attempting to stay with the same surgery after having moved to Wimbledon they said, well THAT is stretching it a bit. The reason for not doing so was they said that if they need to get out to you in an emergency, it's too far. The business about catchments is clearly flexible, if surgeries choose to be so.
