The Practice Philosophy

The practice has been established since 1954 and it's ethos is rooted in the Christian tradition. As a consequence, the current partnership recognises the importance of holistic health care and seeks to address the needs of individuals in physical, psychological, social and spiritual terms, whilst respecting equality and diversity.

 The practice is an active participant in the West Kent Clinical Commissioning Group, whose role is to ensure the optimal provision of patient services in the district.

The partners have an active interest in medical education and believe this to have an important influence on continuing development and good practice at every level.

Patient Participation Group

As a practice we believe strongly in the concept of active patient participation. The Vine's PPG supports a system of health professionals and patient representatives working together for the good of all.

Premises

The practice is currently located at 13 Tonbridge Road (the practice area is shown here). Patients are encouraged to drive with caution as the premises have common entry and exit routes. The entrance and all doors to public areas are suitable for the use of wheelchairs. There are toilet facilities for the disabled. The doctors consult on the ground and first floors of the building. Disabled patients can be seen either on the ground floor or the first floor (the premises include a lift)

The Patient Contract

We aim to provide a high standard of service to all our patients. In order for us to maximise the service we are able to give, we request patients agree to a number of practical measures.

• To book an appointment at the surgery whenever possible. One appointment for one patient only.
• To endeavor to attend appointments punctually and to cancel any appointments with plenty of notice when unable to attend.
• To note that home visits are only for housebound patients who are too ill or frail to attend the surgery. (Transport responsibility remains with the patient.)
• To use the out-of-hours service only if the problem cannot safely wait until the following morning. This means GENUINE emergencies.
• To treat all practice staff and doctors with courtesy and respect. We work as a 'ZERO TOLERANCE' practice.
• Patients endeavor to do whatever possible to improve their own health.
• To keep the practice informed of up-to-date addresses and telephone numbers, especially when moving house.
