Review titled Professionalism and Dedication of Clinicians at Lion Health
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 December 2023
Having attended Lion Health Surgery as part of my diabetic annual review I found the quality of care quite empathetic and humanely attended to patient needs and patient-focused as all aspects of care were tailored to address my medical conditions. The knowledge of the clinician involved is quite infectious and much applauded. Physiological markers obtained via blood test were well explained and effortlessly articulated with an action plan and management of the condition was put in place to reduce harm. The clinician provided a much-needed in-depth explanation and detailed assessment of the status quo of my diabetes. Apart from a meticulous approach and level of practical experience shared with patient and professionalism a testament to the calibre of the medical staff at Lion Health, which demonstrate excellent quality care. Thank you Diabetic Team at Lion Health

Review titled Massive improvement with phone lines
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Janet A - Posted on 30 November 2023
I called Lion health at 8am on Monday expecting a long queue, instead message said “your call will be answered in 4 minutes then 3 minutes “ then a Receptionist answered. After a brief explanation I was given an appointment to see a Doctor at lunchtime. Many thanks for endeavouring to upgrade your appointment system. It worked brilliantly.

Review titled A great experience during an emergency
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Peter Williams - Posted on 25 November 2023
On the 22nd Nov I rang the surgery at 5.15pm (didnt catch the ladies name) but was told by her that I would get a call back from a GP. She showed great concern to my condition, which great difficulty in breathing. The GP rang me at 5.30pm. She spoke to me but I was unable to communicate with her due to my difficulty in breathing. I was asked if I could make my way to the surgery and that she would be waiting for me. I arrived at the surgery, and was seen within 3 minutes and given a thorough examination and treatment. I was put onto a nebuliser straight away. The doctor was kind enough to take my prescription to the surgery pharmacy and she brought the medicine back to me. The nurse was extremely concerned and polite and the doctor remained attentive throughout my visit. I cannot praise all the staff enough for the brilliant service I received. Usually I am the first one to complain if I have a problem with the surgery but this experience is 100%. I would like to thank all the staff, from receptionist to the doctor, nurse and pharmacist. In fact what was even more amazing was the fact that another doctor rang me 2 days later to ask how I was feeling. That is absolutely marvellous and again I cant thank the staff enough. Merry Christmas to all the wonderful staff. Peter Williams

Review titled Great staff in all areas
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Joanna Bond - Posted on 11 October 2023
Attended for my jabs today and also to register to access online services. Everyone was pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, when I tried at home to access these services, it appears that the practice is not registered (as my practice? or with NHS?) which seems odd. I am quite unable to overcome this obstacle and would be most grateful if one of your team could perhaps see where the problem is and let me know how to overcome it. You do not appear to have an email address, otherwise, I'd have messaged you directly. Thank you.

Review titled Timely and effective
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Marie Stevens - Posted on 10 October 2023
Following advice from a member of the reception team I dropped in a sample at surgery at 8.30am. By 1.00pm I was collecting antibiotics after receiving communication from a clinician. I can’t tell you how welcome this was but I’m so very grateful to lion Health. Particularly those working on reception who do so under very busy and what must be stressful circumstances.

Review titled Appointment? Good luck
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 November 2023
If you need to see a GP I’d try another surgery. Tried first day of the week at 07:30 and the 3 available online appointments went before 07:31. 08:00 I had to wait 45mins and I was 79 in the queue, I have been higher in the past to be told by reception to try again at 19:00. So I did this and the same happened as the morning there were 3 available appointments but before I could click on 1 they had also disappeared in under 30 seconds. I did this for 3 days straight with the same happening everyday. Day 4 I was online at 07.29 ready to hit anything that vaguely said appointment. Luckily I hit the phone call from GP button and got to eventually speak to a GP. I have never had any issues with the care I have received but getting to see a GP is virtually impossible at this practice. My last GP practice at least you could see a GP within a day or 2 after speaking to reception, which I was forced to leave because of moving out of the catchment area.

Dear patient, Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear that you have been disappointed in your attempts to obtain an appointment and that it has taken longer than you would have liked to access one. I would like to reassure you that our online booking services as well as our appointments with our clinicians which are released throughout the day will continue to be part of a discussion on improving our appointment system at Lion Health. Unfortunately we have no control over the speed at which our appointments are booked but I can completely understand how this feels frustrating to you when finding a bookable appointment and someone else books it before you or you call for an appointment and are placed further back in the queue due to the capacity of patients also seeking appointments at that time. We are glad that you were able to obtain the appointment you required. We are always trying to improve our accessibility in regards to appointments and will absolutely take your feedback on board and use it to inform future changes. Thank you again for your feedback. Lion Health.

Review titled So helpful
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 October 2023
Booked an appointment for myself and husband online, one after the other. The locum who saw us was so kind and thorough, it's been a while since my last GP visit so I'd saved a list of issues and she reassured me on everything, going above and beyond to help. The Dr was equally as thorough with my husband and we left feeling heard, and like we had been taken seriously and treated with real care. Thank you.

Review titled Great experience
Rated 4 stars out of 5

I wanted to praise the surgery for their help when I attended with my daughter who was not in a good way mentally. We were told a doctor would call my daughter back as soon as possible A doctor from the surgery called us back straight away and my daughter was seen within 15 minutes. I just wanted to praise the reception staff and the doctor for their prompt and caring attitude. It helped me and my daughter at a stressful time.

Review titled Concerned
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 September 2023
Having managed to avoid catching flu and covid I rang this morning to book my vaccinations and am little concerned to find that the first appointment I can get is 21st October. We have followed all instructions and advice since March 2020 so was surprised that I have to wait nearly 6 weeks to protect myself. Hopefully by continuing to restrict my activities I will be able to avoid these illnesses again which will be good for me and save the NHS.

Dear patient, I am sorry you were unable to obtain an appointment earlier in the autumn season; for eligible patients there have been appointments in vaccination clinics since 30.09.23 to be booked so I am unsure on why dates in mid/late October were the earliest on offer to you at the time of writing. I hope you have been able to access an earlier appointment in recent weeks as we have extensive capacity. Regards, LH
