Phones

phoneThe Practice phone system was changed recently to try and support additional features to make access and patient wait times shorter and improve patient experience.

Contractually we are required to hold a cloud based system as stipulated by the NHS as analogue lines are no longer permitted. We are working very closely with the provider to resolve some issues since the switch across to the new system.

Many of the barriers are currently out of our control with most issues being secondary to NHS digital services. We are exploring all avenues to get a complete solution as soon as possible.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
