Miss doctors callback

June 4, 2015
On mon 1st June I rang for a doctor to ring back. I asked for Wednesday as I work mon/tues. The 1st call was whilst I was doing the school run. As I take 4 children to school it was noisy and I didn't hear the phone ring. I rang back and rebooked as I know doctor won't try again. I asked for a call after school run. They can't give you a time and unfortunately nipped to the toilet and missed the second one. Didn't dare ring back again. If this is the process I think the doctor should just try one more time in case the patient couldn't just quite get to the phone.
Also my son was referred for a hearing test in March and still not heard anything and we're now in May.

Hi there,

Apologies for not responding sooner: when you originally posted we did not have the facility to leave a reply.
Thanks for taking the time to comment on how we can improve our service. I'm sorry you didn't find your experience of trying to speak to a doctor at the practice satisfactory. We have discussed the points you have raised. We agree with your suggestion: clinicians should usually try more than once to make contact, particularly if the call is relating to a child or a vulnerable patient. Unfortunately our demand is such that we do not have the capacity to repeatedly call back.
While we do not offer to call back at specific times, we are happy for patients to give a suitable 'window' when it would be best for us to try. We will endeavor to call back at that time, but this is not always possible if we are dealing with more urgent cases.
I'm sorry that you were still waiting for an appointment for a hearing assessment. I trust this has been resolved. If not, please contact the practice so we can look into it further.

Regards

Dr Cameron, on behalf of the Greenway Medical,Practice.
