Phone queue left you waiting while staff chatted
Getting an appointment proved to be quite challenging. I called to request an urgent appointment and found myself second in the call queue. Even after waiting 15 minutes, my position in the queue remained unchanged. Frustrated by this, I decided to visit the surgery in person instead. Upon arrival, I noticed several staff members at the reception desk who appeared to be conversing with one another rather than attending to calls or other duties. This experience left me feeling disappointed with the reception service at this practice. However, I must acknowledge that the clinical staff provided excellent care. Once I approached the desk in person, I was attended to promptly and successfully secured an appointment for that same day. The contrast between the reception experience and the clinical care was quite striking, and I found it puzzling that the reception team seemed to prioritise socialising over managing phone enquiries.
