Online booking system causes frustration and delays
EDIT. Since my last review, the situation has deteriorated significantly. The practice now encourages use of online systems which are difficult to navigate, and many of their digital services are not functioning properly. Simple requests take several days to process and frequently contain errors, requiring you to resubmit and start over. The reception area appears understaffed, and telephone calls go unanswered despite their stated policy about keeping lines available. Direct conversation with a person would be far more straightforward. The online process causes considerable stress because mistakes happen regularly, and there is no way to speak with someone to resolve issues, which compounds the frustration. The overall service quality is disappointing and continues to decline rather than improve. I attempted to arrange an appointment for my family member, which was mishandled previously. An appointment still has not been secured. After many years as a patient, I am transferring to another practice due to concerns about the standard of care provided. The practice should reflect seriously on this situation. There are other local practices in the area that maintain better accessibility and treat patients with greater courtesy. Average telephone wait times are extremely long regardless of when you call, even at opening time. This represents a significant change from the past when wait times were considerably shorter. The reduction in available appointments is very frustrating. I have also been disconnected multiple times during lengthy waits, forcing me to begin the process again. The phone line frequently remains engaged for extended periods with no explanation. Reception staff availability in the surgery is consistently inadequate, and the online appointment booking system is unsatisfactory, with responses taking several days and appointments only available weeks later.
This practice has undergone a remarkable transformation compared to my previous experience. Calls were answered promptly, the reception staff demonstrated professionalism and discretion when..

Sadly Wellway was an amazing and helpful group with good practitioners UNTIL the takeover by another medical group. Sadly, it feels like those focused on business operations rather than patient care..

Why does it take such a considerable amount of time to reach someone when trying to contact the surgery?
