Reception staff could show more empathy on calls
The approach taken by the administrative staff requires careful consideration, particularly regarding the quality of interactions during phone calls. There were instances where the tone felt dismissive and the caller felt rushed off the line. When seeking an appointment recently, I was informed of a significant waiting period but was not made aware of alternative options that might have been available. Callers are frequently directed to use online systems rather than receiving assistance from the person answering the phone, which may present challenges for certain demographics. The revised appointment booking system shows some improvements, though initial telephone consultations with clinical staff could potentially reduce unnecessary face-to-face visits, as many matters could be addressed through discussion alone. There are also concerns about the manner and demeanour of certain clinical staff members involved in specific areas of care, who came across as unwelcoming and unapproachable. Overall, there appears to be scope for improvement in how patients are treated and supported when contacting the practice.
