Email responses and phone queues need improvement

Communication through email appears to be challenging, as responses are not consistently received. The practice seems to operate with delays built into most processes. Phone wait times are lengthy, often extending beyond 30 minutes, and callers are frequently advised they will receive a callback rather than speaking to someone immediately. When callbacks do occur, there can be a further wait of several days before speaking with clinical staff to determine if an appointment is necessary. If an appointment is needed, additional delays follow. Requests for medications lack transparency regarding whether they have been processed, necessitating separate contact with the pharmacy to confirm. When raising concerns about these delays with reception staff, the response focused on workload pressures rather than addressing the underlying process issues. It was noted that prior to recent changes in management, similar requests were handled more promptly with faster turnaround times for prescriptions. A recent notice indicated a change in email systems, but enquiries about the new contact details have gone unanswered.
