BadBack Gov.UK's intention to remove the use of AI from NHS
On hold for 23 minutes at Queue position No 3 !! Press 1 and we’ll call you back keeping your position in the queue – Not blooming likely – what, like it did last time – I don’t think so, I’m still waiting for that call back a week and 1/2 on! Finally, answered. Scenario went something like this… I tried to explain that I had received an SMS asking me to provide further information in relation to my medical concern for which I had submitted an Anima request (only took 3 attempts before AI Andy told me I had been successful!). The Receptionist talked over me yet again, telling me that I needed to redial and select Option 4. Now let’s not be stupid here – We all know that AI Andy isn’t programmed to ask for additional information, don’t we!!! I repeated my previous conversation with the surgery about not having access to the Internet from my phone! Then I was told by a very RUDE Receptionist (par for the norm at this surgery it would appear!) that I MUST have had Internet to receive the text message. Which part did she fail to grasp – you do NOT need an Internet connection to send or receive standard text messages. What are the youth being taught these days?! – well it sure AIN’T customer service skills, is it!! Then she reiterates ‘I’m not understanding cos you would have internet to get the text message'. May I refer you to my answer above, Ls & G or however you choose to identify: you do not need an internet connection to send or receive standard text messages. Audible Sigh – like everything’s an effort What’s your DOB? What’s your name? She’ll send an email to the clinician who may call me back this evening or tomorrow – depends when the clinician responds!!! After 2-weeks of trying to get an appointment, I was so fed up that in the end I contacted Trip 1 to get some common sense and a badly needed prescription! EVERYONE - Lets back the Gov.UK’s current consideration to remove AI from the NHS!! Whilst it’s at it, let’s go ahead and remove the majority of Receptionists/Admin from this surgery !!!
