What have we done as a response to the survey?
Telephone System
The telephone appointment booking line has been removed from the reception area to a back office, thus improving the speed of answering, and waiting, with fewer calls put on hold.
Confidentiality
Along with the removal of the telephone from the reception area, a queuing barrier has been introduced to the main reception desk which gives the patient at reception more room and reduces patients looking over their shoulder. This has inproved privacy.
Punctuality
A break has been inserted in to the morning rotas. This will allow time to catch up, meaning the later appointments will suffer less from delay.
