Events in Putney

What's on when and where in SW15 March 2005

How events get featured on this site

We will list all events in our calendar for free.

If you know of an event that isn't listed let us know by sending details to editor@putneysw15.com

For coverage on the home page of this site and our weekly newsletter which goes to over 1400 local people send us full details of your event.

First priority goes to events which are paying to be listed. Any community based non-profit events will receive prominent coverage subject to the availability of space.

Commercial events can get free coverage but during busy times of the year there is often no available space.

Generally events from outside the area are not listed unless there is a significant connection with Chiswick.

If you are paying to promote your events in other local media don't expect a significant amount of free coverage on this site. Costs for event promotion start at £30.

If an event at your favourite venue or club doesn't appear on our site just tell the organisers to get in touch with us and it will be added .

Public Meeting for views on the GP extended hours scheme in Wandsworth South.

Lecture Theatre
Queen Mary's Hospital
Roehampton
SW15 5PN

The scheme was established as a pilot project in 2001 and gives patients in Balham, Tooting and Wandsworth increased access to GP appointments.
The PCT reviewed the scheme in 2004 and decided it was not the best use of limited resources. The scheme was deemed not cost effective and inequitable, as it benefits only a relatively small section of the PCT population. Under the direction of the Local Authority Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee, the PCT is consulting before making a decision on the scheme.

The consultation runs from 14 February to 14 May 2005 and the responses will be discussed during a public meeting of the Wandsworth PCT board in July.
