Long phone queues and delayed appointment times
The practice experiences significant delays in responding to incoming telephone calls. Even when positioned first in the call queue, there can be considerable waiting time before a receptionist becomes available. Additionally, despite arriving punctually for scheduled appointments and completing check-in procedures at the designated kiosk, patients may experience extended delays before being seen by clinical staff beyond their allocated appointment time.

10 months agoDear Joseph, I am extremely sorry to hear you had a long wait in our phone queues. This is unfortunately a common issue with GP Practices. This is why we always recommend you use Patchs which can be accessed via our website. With Patchs, you can request an appointment, or make an admin request such as fit notes or medical reports. Also available is the NHS App, where you can request prescriptions, see when your prescription has been sent to the pharmacy, cancel appointments, see your medical record and any test results. I hope this assists you with easier access to our practice. However, if you would like to discuss this in more detail, I would be happy to contact you. Kind regards, Charlotte Lathwell Practice Manager Otterfield Medical Centre
