Upcoming Website Maintenance Window on 16/04/24

Dear Patients

We wanted to inform you about an upcoming period of scheduled website maintenance on 16/04/24.

What to expect:

  • Website downtime: During this process, we anticipate the website may be unavailable for up to one working day. Every effort is being taken by our website service provider to keep this to a minimum.
  • Temporary Form Disabling: Online forms will be temporarily disabled during the maintenance window. This is a short term measure to facilitate the maintenance.

For medical assistance during this time, please call NHS 111, or 999 for emergencies.

We apologise for any inconvenience experienced, and thank you for your patience during this time.

You said, we did

 

You said “Can we reduce the number of chairs outside the nurses room to reduce risk of overhearing consultations”

We did – There are now less chairs to the left of reception and an increased number on the right.

 

You said “Waiting times on the phone are too long” 

We did – A new telephone system has been installed with a call back function when hold times are increasing. Meaning we will call you back when its your turn in the queue!

We have also increased the number of people taking calls throughout the practice to reduce call waiting times.

 

You said “The wait times to see a GP were too long”

We did – We recruited two locum GP’s to the practice adding 4 clinical sessions a week.

We have also increased the number of nurses, advanced practitioners and pharmacists, to enable you to speak to the right person more quicky.

 

If you have any feedback for us, please complete a friends and family test form at reception or on our website.
