Website booking system causes frustrating appointment delays

Getting an appointment at this practice feels more difficult than securing tickets to a major event! The online booking system only opens from 8am, which means competing with many others simultaneously and experiencing website crashes during peak times. After submitting an appointment request through the form, you're told to expect a response within 2 days, which isn't ideal if your matter is time-sensitive. The practice suggests calling if something is urgent, yet reaching someone by phone proves nearly impossible, and there seems to be a discouraging attitude toward those who attempt to do so, as though telephone contact is only meant for patients unable to navigate the online platform. This system feels quite frustrating.

Dear Zoe, I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback on your experiences with Knoll Medical Practice. I sincerely apologise for the difficulties you've encountered while trying to access our services. I am deeply concerned to hear that our website has been experiencing crashes and that you felt shamed during your phone calls to our team. We are committed to providing all our patients with a positive and supportive experience, and I am truly sorry that this was not the case for you. We acknowledge that the current state of primary care access presents significant challenges for patients across England and the UK, impacting their health and well-being. I want to assure you that the entire team at Knoll Medical Practice is dedicated to enhancing the quality of care we provide to all our patients. We encourage all patients to utilise our online triage system, accessible via our website or the NHS App, if possible. We understand that digital access may be limited for some. Therefore, we have dedicated resources to ensure those who cannot use online services can still access appropriate care. This includes alternative methods for contacting the practice and receiving support, such as speaking to our reception team directly. Please be assured that all triage submissions are reviewed promptly by our dedicated GP triage team on the same day of submission. Patients will typically be contacted on the same day, with priority given to urgent matters I'd appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your experiences. You can reach me directly at [email protected] Yours sincerely, Callum McQue Practice Manager
