Callback queue option beats endless phone waiting
I'm really pleased I made the switch to my new practice and left my previous surgery. When you call to book appointments at my current surgery, you have the option to end the call and they'll keep you in the queue and ring you back so you're not waiting on the phone indefinitely. I can always get a face-to-face appointment when I need one, and the receptionists don't make it difficult. I hadn't had a face-to-face consultation since before the pandemic at my old surgery, only telephone appointments. The staff here are polite, friendly, approachable and don't make you feel like you're bothering them the way staff at my previous practice did. The clinicians make you feel valued and heard. There's no restriction on discussing multiple concerns in one appointment either. It's a completely different experience from what I had before. I'd been registered at my old practice for many years and I'm disappointed by how it's being managed now and the reception team's attitude. Given my background in practice management, I struggle to understand how they received their rating. I would give one star only because a rating is required to submit feedback.
The telephone reception staff demonstrated an approach that I found deeply unsatisfactory.
