I contacted the practice in relation to my elderly mother. The person I spoke to was very understanding/helpful and made a telephone appointment with a GP for later that morning. The GP rang as arranged. Again, I was treated in a courteous and helpful way. As a result an urgent referral was made to a dermatologist. This morning (the day after speaking to the GP) I received the appointment details from the dermatologist, which is in two weeks time. Many thanks to the Bryant Street surgery for all your help

Review titled Terrible
Rated 1 star out of 5

Waited two weeks for a telephone appointment regarding my mental health and to ask questions about referrals for treatment. Recieved a text message telling me I could contact a talking therapy service with a broken internet link. My appointment was clearly cancelled without notifying me after this message as I waited up for a call at the specified time. Only after a close friend called on my behalf (I complained about the event's to them), did I recieve a missed call from a doctor. I requested an appointment with a doctor, I recieved a text message from the reception team with some information I could get myself and they cancelled my appointment. It is quite clear from other reviews here that they don't care and should probably cease operating. Stop Gatekeeping Our Healthcare!

Review titled Unorganised chaos
Rated 1 star out of 5

My Husband suffered a Heart Attack and was taken by Ambulance to St Thomas Hospital London. After returning home - ( from St Thomas Hospital London) he then 3 days later collapsed and was taken by Ambulance to Medway Maritime Hospital where a c t scan diagnosed that he had suffered a bleed on his Brain which was said to have been caused due to the interaction of blood thinners medication prescribed for his heart. On leaving Medway Maritime Hospital -a new medication prescription was given to my Husband which we then took along to Bryant Street Medical Center where he was a patient- for them to copy and order the items of medication at our local pharmacy. A receptionist at Bryant Street Medical Center said that collection of the medication from our pharmacy would be ready in 2 days. On arrival at our local pharmacy for collection of medication - only 1 item of medication awaiting us - had in fact been previously ordered back in August. (Husband in Hospital during that time) and had nothing to do with the 11 items of medication prescribed by Medway Maritime Hospital for my Husband. So basically, no medication had been ordered. I took my Husband 3 times back and forth between Bryant Street Medical Center and our local pharmacy. By this time my Husband had run out of his heart medication. Obviously feeling anxious- we then insisted that we sat at Bryant Street Medical Center until my Husbands prescription issued by Medway Maritime Hospital was sent to our pharmacy for collection. After sitting for around 30 mins we were then told that the prescription would be sent to our pharmacy that evening for collection the following day. Clarified by a phone call here at our home from Bryant Street Medical Center pharmacist. When collecting the medication-this time only around half the amount had been ordered . Where as 11 items of serious medication was needed. The remaining medication was then ordered for collection on the 3rd day. Putting it mildly- the whole situation was very stressful which didn’t help my Husband’s condition at all. Summing everything up- I found Bryant Street Medical Center to be that of unorganised chaos. I did mention to one of the receptionist that I was very angry at the way things were organised. I further added that had it just been an antibiotic for an infection which we were waiting to be prescribed- our body would have naturally healed itself by the time the prescription had arrived at our local pharmacy for collection. Whereas in fact -the medication needed was for my Husband’s serious heart condition. Bryant Street Medical Center lacks team work and organisation. At times diplomacy and manners were also needed. Due to the problems which my Husband has endured with Bryant Street Medical Center- he has now registered with the surgery where I myself have been a patient for 30 yrs without any problems.
