New Telephone System - COMING SOON - August 2025

As you will all be very aware just under 2 years ago the Practice introduced a new Telephone System to replace the old system that had reached it's end of life.

Since introducing the new system we have encountered numerous errors and faults with the system which in turn has massively let down, both the Practice and our Patient population.  The good news is after a long battle with our present telecoms supplier, they have agreed that the telephone system has failed the Practice and the Patient population we serve. 

Therefore going forward we will be introducing a new Telephone System through the month of August 2025.  We will endeavour to keep you informed by SMS Text Message and by updates on the Practice website of when we will switch over to the new system.
