New Patient Registration

New Telephone System - call back feature

We launched our new telephone system in March at Chelston Hall Surgery. This phone system enables patients to choose a call back option. Instead of waiting on hold when calling the appointment line, you have the option to request to be called back.

The call-back feature is an automated system that allows the practice to set a parameter number of callers for the queue. Once that limit has been reached, the next patient calling the appointment line will be offered the call-back option.

Patients will be offered to dial '0' for the call-back option, this will hold their position in the queue as if they were still on the phone. The system will then ring the patient back when they have reached number one in the queue. This means that rather than staying on hold, you can carry on your day or rest if you're feeling unwell.

Please note that if you have a private / withheld number the system is unable to call patients back
