So friendly and helpful
5
I registered here today for me and my son as we are new to the area. The receptionist was so friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful. She made sure I had all the right information and even called me to confirm some details that I hadn’t provided (which was my poor admin skills)… I know it sounds silly to be so overwhelmed by simple friendliness and helpfulness but I’ve honestly never had that in any doctors surgery I’ve registered with, I’m normally quite intimidated. It really made me feel positive about it. Thank you!

No compassion for patients
1
I had to ring exactly 120 times from 8 this morning and finally was able to make an appointment. I was told I’d have a call back after 3pm. I kept my phone by my side on loud for the entire day just in case he called before. I even took the phone in to the toilet with me. Eventually after 6pm I called the surgery to find out if the GP was going to ring me. The receptionist said the GP left a note saying he tried to ring me at 15.50. I have evidence that this is entirely false information. Unfortunately this is not the first time I’ve been made to feel insignificant and unimportant by this GP. What a waste of my entire day. Very upset and will be looking for a new surgery.

The kindness and compassion and dedication and expertise you showed during that appointment was beyond what I had expected. It led me to conclude that you have had specific training in this area of mental health or if you haven’t, you are extremely naturally gifted with these skills. Not only were you able to show professionalism and respect that resonated with our teenage son but you showed us, his parents, the same.

My husband had a health issue which needed a prescription urgently as we were going away for a few days. The prescriptions and operations team could not have been more helpful in advice and support and pulled out the stops to get him a very swift review which enabled him to be prescribed what he needed. They were helpful, friendly, sympathetic and a credit to the surgery - thank you so much.

We recently changed Doctors and moved to Greensand Surgery. They are always so helpful when needing an appointment. After my daughter becoming very unwell recently they were exceptionally kind, caring and thorough. At a worrying time I couldn’t have wished for a better person to take care of us. No one ever wants to go to the Doctors, but if you attend Greensand you will be in good hands! Thank you for your kindness.

Medical staff are very good
3
Can not fault the doctors and nurses who work at this practice. However, the administrative staff are persistently dismissive and rude. The Practice heavily recommends the eConsult service to request appointments or advice. Today administrative staff outsourced my eConsult request to an external GP hub (4 days after submitting it). The outsourced GP, again lovely and helpful, but they have created a prescription (which I requested in my eConsult) and I have to travel out of my area to collect it from the Hub. The practice admin staff need to consider this when outsourcing eConsults because not everyone is able to travel so freely.

Surgery simply does not pick up the phone
3
I have had recurring experience of the surgery simply choosing not to pick up the phone. On more than one occasion, I have waited for a very long time after reaching number one in the call queue. It appears from other reviews that this is a common problem. Furthermore, when you get through, the triaging by reception has been problematic as reception tries to send you to a nurse even though a doctor has suggested coming to see a doctor for the next appointment, because of the nature of the review required. The doctors are great, but working through reception is less than satisfactory.

I was in excruciating pain and called for an urgent appointment. Within 3 hours I'd seen a doctor face to face, my prescription was at a pharmacy within six hours of my first call, I was booked for blood tests within 48 hours, I got blood test results texted to me within 24 hours and a follow up appointment made to discuss results within a week if my first contact witha doctor. I felt extremely well cared for and was dealt with with compassion and care by great staff right through from receptionists to nurses and doctors. A great experience when I was feeling very poorly.

Act on letters
2
If you get a letter from another NHS service asking you to do something - please do it. In all the time I have been with this surgery - 15 years - I have always had to chase letters. For example, from a consultant asking for a referral to be made, or for drugs to be prescribed. The latest experience was this September. Letters just get ignored and filed. I'm with it enough to chase you up, ask you to dig out the letter and do what is requested. Then follow up again if you don't. What happens to the more vulnerable patients? You are letting people down badly, and all you need to do is read and use some common sense.

Pick up your phone!!!

I received a letter in the post to book a screening test, but have been unable to get through on the phone. I called at 3:30PM today (20/06/22), with 4 others ahead of me. After a while, the phone starting ringing (I got to the top of the queue, yay, I thought!). The phone was ringing for over 30mins with no one picking up, in the end I hung up at just after 4PM - when is the closing time? No idea what to do. How do we get the service we deserve in Swanley? I would desperately like to move surgery, but the alternatives are just as bad going by the reviews.

Cannot reach them on the phone, cannot email, if you don't have access to the NHS app, which my elderly Mother in Law doesn't you simply don't have a Doctor. She cannot reorder medication and she can't get through to actually talk to someone, let alone make an appointment. I genuinely have no idea what they do all day, no patients, no repeat prescriptions, you cannot get past the buzzer on the door etc. etc. This is not a service by any stretch of the imagination. How the elderly are supposed to cope - I have no idea! The sooner they are shut down and a surgery commensurate with the population numbers they serve is created the better. I have run out of words to describe this place!

Hit & Miss
2
The hit and miss refers to the clinical and admin staff. Hit - I had an emergency last year and the receptionist was so caring and compassionate. Miss - Same emergency situation - follow up treatment - the GP was totally uninvolved and couldn't get rid of me quick enough. This was my first contact in 9 months. Miss - Yesterday, I rang to book an appointment related to above, recurring problem, which is now recurring more frequently. I wasn't bothered how long I had to wait, just wanted to discuss what I should be doing, I wasn't given any real advice at the original appointment, I couldn't book an appointment with the doctor I wanted to see (kind and caring) at all. I dread ringing and speaking to them or even going in to the surgery. I wonder why they are accepting new patients when it is difficult to get through and get an appointment as an existing patient. Today I've been looking at switching surgeries.

Receptionist asked me to see my GP about non-urgent issue arising from routine blood test. At 45 mins before 9am appointment, I was texted to say GP unwell, but arrangements in hand for colleague to cover. A few hours later, helpful receptionist rang to offer 4.30pm appointment, at which my issue was cheerfully resolved in a two-way discussion with another GP from the practice. Ten out of ten to Weald View for their rapid response and concern for patient care, maintained at a time when health services are facing high and increasing levels of demand alongside staff shortages.

Poor Medical Practice
1
Referals not followed through from recommendation of Hospital Discharge. GP did not provide handover of medical care during their abscence whilst admitting me into Hospital. GP does not provide full descriptive information of symptoms to allow investigations by Hospital to assist with diagnosis and medical treatment to aid recovery. Relys on the method of Pain Prescriptions rather than avenues of Recovery Treatment for long-term injuries. Medical Documents not collaborated or provided to Hospital Consultants in time of long awaited appointments. Emails to Practice Manager seeking advice for assistance with raised issues, replied defensively rather than objectively. Locum GP have acted speedily with medical investigations and medical treatment rather than Practice based GP.

Great doctors, dislike the booking system
3
I’ve been a patient for over 18 years. My usual doctors are fantastic and caring. Booking system feels unsympathetic though; I answered all questions and a flurry of questionnaires followed or I was given an delayed appointment so ended in the A&E. During latest visit two receptionists ignored me until an elderly couple joined the queue. I also wish there was more support on menopause as I’m getting more information from a FB support group than I do in the short period of time doctors are given to deal with such an overwhelming life change. I would not normally even contact the surgery unless I was desperate for help.

Having seen lovely nurse for general medical review, my gp face to face was organised in line with a pre booked bloods test and ecg , to cover all bases and left me feeling nurtured, valued as a patient and at all appointments that my health and well-being was and is a priority to the practice. My symptoms could have been explained away as exhaustion from battling with a demanding work role and balancing with complex caring for a family with many needs , but staff in the practice empowered me to ask for help . They didn’t make me feel like a failure for needing reassurance and bolstered my achievements against the odds of my own mental health history. Unlike my work environment ( teaching) I feel genuinely cared for by Medwyn practice and my recent visits have made me realise I’m not “ bothering them “ if I have health worries.

Failure at point of entry

I rarely trouble my local GP. I am one of those men who only goes to the doctor when something is very wrong. I rang today to get an urgent appointment because I have a lump near my thyroid which has persisted for the last 2-3 months. I have difficulty swallowing and no infection. The receptionist was dismissive and offered an appointment in a months time. At a time when so many people are being diagnosed with cancer too late, it is shocking that one of the significant reasons for late diagnosis is likely to be receptionists who are simply not qualified to be in the critical diagnosis pathway.

Excellent Patient Service
5
I am full of praise for St Luke's Surgery. I have been a patient for over 30 years now and the team have never failed to deliver excellent medical attention. The Reception Team are courteous and recently I was seen expeditiously when I called in earlier this week. As always it was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this practice to those newcomers to the area, or those wishing to perhaps make a change .

Very poor treatment of Autistic daughter
1
My daughter has autism and complex needs. She has been treated appallingly by staff who have been rude and unhelpful. She has significant communication difficulties and needs patience and understanding, however staff have gone out of their way to make her feel rushed and stressed to the point of melt down. They have a '5 min rule' on the phone so if you cannot communicate your needs in that time they put the phone down. I have made several attempts to contact the practice manager and named doctor for my daughter but they have refused all attempts to work with us. All calls & emails to practice manager have been ignored. All reasonable adjustments for her disability have been dismissed as attempts to manipulate . Every parent with a severely disabled child fears the time they can no longer care for them & this unfortunately is the reality. It's probably a lovely practice if you are middle class with private insurance but appalling if you are complex or disabled and when something goes wrong they do not want to know and are impossible to contact.

Very poor experience
1
Very uncaring team and lack understanding of autism and mental health. They insisted on repeated appointment for the same issue. I left one appointment with a list of 4 appointments in the same week at the practice with a doctor who was inexperienced and offered no useful advice or treatment and despite telling the doctor I would not be able to attend them all and would prefer just 1 they refused to cancel. Then very rudely criticized by another member of staff because I wasn't able to attend despite trying to cancel . The inexperienced doctor then decided they had enough of me as I have a complex disability and decided to move me on elsewhere. Very confusing and conflicting advice and impossible to understand. All reception staff went out of their way to make me feel stupid for being autistic and mocked and criticized me every time I got one of their 'rules' wrong (rules changed from week to week and different staff have different rules) They are only interested in positive feedback and the practice management and lead doctor both refused to meet and discuss the issues so I think anyone with autism or caring for someone with autism or similar disability would be very safe at this surgery

I was scared, and I am scared now. NHS staff has left me without medication for over one month. I filled out the online request and was told to present my passport at reception. Of course, it was not a British passport. However, despite my peculiarity, I was told by the receptionists to wait a good seven days before they could double-check my ticket. And this adds to another fourth day without medication. I can never tell this story to my family.

The best and most caring doctors I have had in years, moved to are so needed new doctors. I had to leave other local doctors in my new are due to appalling conditions,service, gps and was left anxious to change to here. Was shocking and felt worried if the same would happen. Not al all here, they are amazing .The reception are fantastic, friendly ,kind and helpful. All doctors I’ve encountered are brilliant. Appointments straight away for urgent matters. Wonderful staff and clean and professional surgery. They text and follow up all items that need to be looked at and referrals are done straight away. I registered this year and has restored my faith in the wonderful gps and practices after lockdown. Thank you again on here to all staff, doctors and nurses here.

Merger has not gone well
1
Due to the apparent mis-management of the recent merger, it seems no longer possible to book appointments online. The information supplied by SMS about changing the GP practice name online was wrong and bore no resemblance to the actual options. Their note to contact support and not them if there are problems is horrendous given that it is them who have created this mess. Does no one bother to do things properly anymore? This does not bode well for any treatments - I'll be going direct to the local hospital in future.

Well done for messing up once again
1
I do not know how many times you can mess up until you actually change. Stop telling people that you are working under pressure because of shortage of staff. If your staff are good, I do not need to write this review and yes you will be getting a complaint letter off me too. Who ever in your team who does patient referrals should win a medal for the most rejected referrals. This person managed to get my referral rejected 3 times because she did not filled in the Proforma form which was sent to her by the team she has been referring to on several times. Before you asked, I have spoken to the team who keep rejecting the referral. Now my referral is for definite been rejected now. Thank you for doing your job so well that you certainly does not care about the patient. If you did care about the patient, you would have picked up the phone and call to ask why was the referral been rejected so many times.

you don't get to see a GP

Utterly disappointing experience. Having done an e consult and asked to attend the surgery I was given an appointment with a physician associate and not with a GP. They instilled absolutely no confidence in me, first not having been aware of the e-consult and second not asking questions about one of the key areas I had attended for. Smallfield surgery has some great GPs, what a shame they have gone down the route of physician associates. They are simply not the same as the GPs and should be avoided.

Repeated terrible service, fobbed off again
1
I am having persistent issues with my hearing (under 45). Pharmacist told me to see the doctor, I did the online form and the response was not to give me an appointment but to refer me to a pharmacist. This is the first time I’ve used my doctors for 18months as my last experience with them was so draining, we’ve used private instead at great cost to avoid using them since. With my job at risk of redundancy, I need to return to NHS care - first time I try them again this happens. This practice only seems interested in getting rid of patients to reduce workload as much as possible.

I needed a non urgent “face to face” appointment and was offered one within a few days of my initial telephone call. I was advised to call before then if the condition worsened and I could be offered a “same day” appointment. The GP I saw was attentive, considerate and took time to really understand the problem. There are no on line forms to complete to obtain an appointment! Reception staff are caring and attentive.

I have had great care and attention from the practice each and every time I have needed them. The online form is simple and must be completed within a certain time frame of the day. If you have an urgent matter, you just need to call the friendly receptionists who will process your request. The GPs are splendid and the fact you can get an appointment at the weekend or online is fabulous for those who work. I cannot fault the practice in its efforts to treat their patients who need it.

Appalling - urgent case, no response
1
This practice has an online system which doesn’t work for anything other than non-urgent concerns. My son had a nose bleed and was coughing up blood for the 2nd time in a month. We previously went to A&E who advised us to get an urgent same day appointment with our GP if it happened again. I did the form, called and was told it would take a while to get to it. It was eventually categorised as urgent and I got a message saying someone would call me, the doctor called but hung up so quickly the call didn’t even ring on my phone (I was watching it diligently despite being a full time working Mum). No appointment time had been specified. Got a text to say they’d called and I missed it and they would call back ‘if time allowed’ No call all day, the phone lines unmanned since lunchtime, absolutely shameful negligence.

Incredibly long wait times

I tried to get an appointment in December and was not able to. Used the LIVI app and ‘saw’ a GP on there. They referred me for X-rays. After 2 weeks and no appointment I contacted the practice and got told to ring the local X-ray department, make an appointment and then make an appointment with the practice to see the GP one week after my X-rays. Booked X-rays, but first appointment available with a GP after that was over 2weeks later and was a telephone appointment only. During the telephone appointment I was given a diagnosis and was told that actually he needed to see me face to face. He said they would contact me. I waited 5 days and no contact so I filled in the horrid online form to ask if I could have an appointment. They phoned me back, the first face to face appointment available is 4 weeks away! I know that they are under pressure but I am too. I am in pain, finding it difficult to walk, have not had any sort of help regarding coping with the issue I have been diagnosed with. I have not been given any support regarding pain management, I had to ask for stronger pain killers and got prescribed one weeks worth (over 4 weeks until my appointment?!) Since I first tried to make contact with them regarding this issue it has now been 8 weeks with another 4 to wait before I even see the Doctor. I have no idea what to do or where to go for help.

I had a very thorough telephone appointment with a doctor concerning a problem with my ear, which resulted in her asking me to attend a face to face appointment that same day, she examined me and prescribed medication, and arranged a follow up for 2 days later. The follow up was with a different doctor and was equally thorough and resulted in the doctor writing a letter for me to attend A&E great service.

First off, I would like to thank the practice staff for your work in getting medication for my wife who was released from hospital last week. Due to the delayed nature of her discharge from St Peters some of the meds she should have brought home were used in hospital while others were issued from ward stock so she had too little of some meds and too much of others. For one in particular she had only a four day supply so I endeavoured to get more via Studholme. My lack of understanding of the prescription process led to some difficulties which your staff overcame! However, although I was only asking for one medication you sent requests to Boots for all 6 on her list to be issued! This resulted in the issue of some expensive drugs of which we already had more than was required. I will, of course, return the excess medication to Boots, but I'm sure handling charges will have been incurred. I feel that if someone had actually listened to my request rather than making assumptions this situation could have been avoided. Secondly, while I understand the doctors and other staff are operating under unprecedented pressure, not everyone who phones the surgery wants to make an appointment and a separate line for enquiries would serve both patients and staff well.

review of repeat prescrption

have until recently always been able to request repeat prescription medication a couple of weeks before medication finishes. have now been told tbat xan only request 1 week before medication finishes. this is my first time on new rules and already had a problem. request was thursday allowed 72 working hours took me to today .. tuesday. asked someone to go collect for me as chemist would be closed by time i got back from work. chemist only had one of my medication. go back tomorrow wednesday.. and should hopefully have some. my last tablet tomorrow. will ask another favour for someone to collcet for me.. lets hope they have stock, otherwise i dont have all my medication for thursday. i dont think requesting medication 2 weeks in advance is unrealistic and this example is exactly reason why allowing more than 1 week is important. also please dont forget that people work and cant always pick prescription within such a short schedule. i dont finish work until 5.30 impossible for me to get back in time before chemist closes. my medicayion finished mid week. looks like i might be missing daily medication on a regular basis. not too sure that is going to do my blood pressure any good. considering the above 2 examples of the difficulties and unexpected problems the 1 week rule present please please review this process and give a least a 2 weeks

I’ve recently moved to the area and had to complete an application which required a medical to be performed. Following the medical unfortunately the people requiring this asked a number of challenging questions which resulted in significant extra work and follow up from the practice. The person at the practice responsible for this went above and beyond to resolve this for me and turn what could’ve been a bad situation a very good one. I’m so grateful for the service I received in this regard.

Very happy with treatment

I have been very impressed with treatment of a recent issue - won't go into my personal details here but initial diagnosis and appointments for blood tests, ultrasound tests at a separate clinic and further GP contacts have all been very speedily arranged. GP has been very understanding of any concerns of mine and acted to reassure me. Couldn't ask for more. First rate!
