Reception staff ignored long phone queue
I observed the reception area through the windows and noticed a significant queue appearing on the phone system while the receptionist did not appear to be engaged in calls and seemed to be taking a break. Other staff members also appeared to be on breaks at the same time. The practice would benefit from significant improvements in its operations and I intend to lodge a formal complaint. The service felt inadequate and I felt dismissed throughout my experience. I was positioned 46th in the phone queue and waited for approximately an hour while reception capacity seemed underutilised. Additionally, I felt the practice frequently directs patients toward hospital services rather than providing appointments for consultation. I believe certain matters that could be appropriately managed in primary care were redirected to hospital instead.
A disappointing experience overall. Obtaining an appointment proved to be extremely difficult. The reception staff interaction was unpleasant.
