Should 08444 Numbers Be Banned Doctor Surgery Medical Centres!

 

This subject has been talked about for many years. I feel that 08444 do nothing but harm the doctors surgery or medical centre.

Lets take an example your surgery is in an area were unemployment is high why should patients have to pay well over 5-15p per minute to call to make an appointment. Did you know that London alone 40% households do not have a fixed land-line and they rely on pay as you go Mobile the cost can be up to 40p a minute.

This is not right nor is it fair to ask patients to use 08444 numbers. Most cases telecoms companies use this tool to make money for themselves and to the surgery again this not right to do this.

So what can we do? Quite simple really do not speak to this type of company. So what is out there. Again very simple really There are three main areas were surgeries need help!

1: More lines a typical surgery will have just two lines this is for patients and staff.

2: Queueing system for busy periods like a Monday morning.

3: Call forwarding for when the surgery is closed.

That's it really. So whats the cost well for a typical surgery with four lines 12 handsets the cost would be about £77.52p per month this would include voice mail call queueing 12 display hands-free handsets which can be wall mounted. Real time scheduling so you can give important messages through the day by time or date.

Installation would be on full site survey.

So you can see it's not that expensive to implement this type of solution.

Now what can we do to help pay for this?

VoIP well Panasonic are getting there now! But I think if you want a reliable solution its been out there for many years I would recommend Inter-Tel now known as Mitel 5000 for the money its truly remarkable solution. Panasonic has a place in the telecoms industry they are reliable and cost effective, so for simple solution they would be good for the job.

Welcome To Online Communications Blog

Here I would like to talk about medical centres and doctors surgeries. I have been dealing with this sector for many years. I understand there problems and requirements. I feel in most cases there demands are very simple! They want a telephone system to be easy to use for patients and staff! So lets look at this in more detail!

1: Lines coming in to the surgery or doctors surgery! I am always amazed how little lines they have I have been to several surgery practise's were they have 12,000 patients and only two lines! This is just not enough I would recommend four lines and two lines for staff to receive and make calls.

2: Another problem I always see is its a Monday morning and everybody is trying to call the local surgery! In most cases it just rings and rings! Did you know this is a well known fact that you get more annoyed and angry patients if they just get a ringing all the time. Online Communications can help with this problem by implementing a call queueing system! It will tell the patient they are second in the Que and likely wait time 45 seconds!
