Unfortunately this practice has implemented a system where appointments are released at 10 am every Tuesday. This means at this time the phone line is jammed and it is difficult to obtain an appointment. The same system is applied to online appointments where very few appointments are released. One of the underlying problems is a shortage of resources to meet the needs of a larger customer base. A better solution will be to modernise (eg. more help online, video appointments etc), preserving face-to-face appointments for people who need them. This practice really needs a stronger management team and engaged focus group of end-clients to drive requirements.
