✨✨New Telephone System Installation – Wednesday, 12th February 2025✨✨

We are installing a new telephone system on Wednesday, 12th February 2025. We do not anticipate any disruption, apart from a brief two-minute switchover while we transition from the old system to the new one.

✨✨New Patient Call-Back Feature✨✨
Our new system introduces a Patient Call-Back option. If more than three people are in the queue, you will be given the choice to request a call back. This means:

✅ Your place in the queue is held.
✅ The system will automatically call you back when you reach the front of the queue.
✅ No need to wait on hold, improving your experience.

✨✨Improved Surgery Efficiency✨✨
In addition to benefiting patients, this new system provides enhanced reporting and statistics, allowing us to monitor call volumes and improve our responsiveness even further.

Thank you for your patience during this upgrade. We appreciate your support in helping us enhance our services!
