Review titled 5 weeks to get an appointment
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Duncan Mills - Posted on 26 November 2024
Today is the 26 Nov. I just booked an appointment and the first free time is 2 Jan. Five weeks. And apparently the surgery is accepting new patient registrations because clearly they have loads of capacity?

Dear Mr Mills, Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you are unhappy with the wait time for routine appointments. We are all working extremely hard to meet with the demand and seeing more patients than ever before. We are trying to address this situation by arranging more short term extra appointments. To respond to your statement regarding taking on new patients, we are contractually obliged to take on new patients within our boundary and can only close our list with express permission from Surrey Heartlands ICB and NHS England. This is not something they allow practices to do lightly as it would increase pressure on other practices all of whom are also experiencing increased demand on services. Yours sincerely Dawn Brewer Practice Manager

Review titled Travel Vaccinations
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 June 2024
St Luke's Surgery have stopped offering travel vaccinations part way through my Daughters treatment plan. After the first course she was messaged by the practice nurse to say sorry that one of the injections had been missed. When a phone call was made to the surgery to arrange a follow up appointment for this injection we were advised that St Luke's Surgery are no longer offering Travel Vaccinations. I explained it was not reasonable to refuse to offer an injection that the nurse inadvertently missed. I said that even if the surgery have decided to change their offer they should complete a treatment plan. The receptionist put these points to the nurse and the nurse is said to have still refused to give the last injection. This is not how St Lukes used to treat patients.

Thank you for you for taking the time to leave us a review. I am sorry you felt the surgery has not met the needs of your daughters travel vaccination plan. I have since spoken to you and explained the Surgery does offer NHS travel vaccines however we are unable to offer any Non NHS travel vaccines at this time. As discussed on the phone Non NHS vaccines required for travel can be obtained at private travel clinics. Yours sincerely, Rachael Dilley Assistant Practice Manager

Review titled Failure at point of entry
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Shane Ohara - Posted on 31 May 2023
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.
