Phone queues are impossibly long and frustrating

Securing an appointment proves extremely challenging, and phone wait times frequently extend beyond an hour before anyone responds. While the practice employs multiple receptionists, the reception team's approach to patient interactions could be improved. With several staff members present, it seems feasible to allocate additional resources to answer calls more promptly, as extended hold times are frustrating. My husband experienced a particularly lengthy wait when attempting to book a routine health review appointment, which had been cancelled the previous day. Conducting such a review remotely without completing standard clinical measurements raises concerns about the thoroughness of the assessment process. After being a patient at this practice for nearly four decades, the service standards have noticeably declined, particularly since the pandemic, and no longer meet expectations. I have been unable to access in-person doctor appointments for over two years. My family members have progressively left the practice, and we have now decided to seek care elsewhere.
