"Poor triage system"

About: Newgate Medical Group

The triage system is too rigid. While attending the practice I wanted to make a doctor appointment. I was informed that I had to fill in a triage form, but to do it online tomorrow as today was all allocated. Went online at 10 (can't go online before) the following day and triage was suspended as was full. My concern is that the elderly and disabled might be unable to fill in the online form (if its available) and the call back system can easily fail as I missed the call back and had to start the process again.

Dear Patient , thank you for taking time to provide feedback. The practice has very carefully considered our triage system and has consulted with our PPG at every step. Please speak with our reception team if you require any further support.
