"Survey does not reflect why I visited the website"

About: The Princess Royal Hospital (Telford)

I called the Princess Royal Hospital this afternoon (15:30 03 Jul 18) to change an appointment, I went specifically to the department's website & while the phone number was main reception, no-one answered the departments phone, eventually I was transferred to an answering machine.

What would be really useful, is if you put the hours the phone is manned so people know when to call & that if it's now outside those ours they have no expectations that a hospital department will answer them, but may be able to leave a message.

I need to change an appointment that was just allocated to me now due to work commitments & if I can't get through then I can't do that.

Please consider that this may be why so many people 'miss' appointments, it's because they can't get through to change them & then they can't be re-allocated to someone further down the list.

Good morning,

Thank you for taking the time to share your recent experience with us.

I am sorry for the difficulty you encountered in trying to get through to someone to help you with your appointment.

I appreciate this must have been very frustrating.

I will share your feedback with the Patient Access Centre so that they are aware of the problems you experienced and so they can look to address the issue.

Kind Regards

Patient Experience Team
