Service Improvements

• Telephoning the Surgerya) The Patient Participation Group (PPG) felt it would be helpful for patients to know where they are in the telephone queue when contacting the practice. This will help you to decide whether to continue holding or to call back at another time.

b) To play useful patient related information whilst waiting in the telephone queue.

Plan

a) To discuss the suggested improvements with the telephone system with the supplier.

b) To continue to work with the PPG on up to date messages, ie flu campaign, did you know questions and answers.

Service Improvements

• Appointment SystemA lot of information is available in the Practice Brochure, however it was felt it would be useful to have an appointment system newsletter, “did you know”? This would be made available later in 2012 as the practice is reviewing the appointment system in May 2012. The aim is to improve access for patients to be given the most appropriate appointment, length of appointment with the most appropriate clinician.

Newsletter topics:• Surgery opening times• The Improved System & Changes• Extended hours• Who does what • Who works when
