Patients would queue to book in for appointments and then half an hour later, there would be no appointments left, resulting in patient complaints and staff being mistreated.
You need to find balance for meeting demand with supply. We overcame these apprehensions by ensuring that all staff were on board and part of the transformation process. We thought we’d be overwhelmed [with Patient Triage requests] but this wasn’t the case.

Accurx has been priceless in improving communication between patients and our staff. This expedites the patient journey through primary care by them getting the care they need quicker. If you want to improve your metrics and patient experience and reduce pressures on your staff then do this.
Accurx is very useful for creating our own templates with specific links to websites we use frequently e.g. Asthma UK, Oxford Vaccine Group and cervical screening websites.
It saves time to message patients with results or arrange appointments without needing to phone, and saves patients from calling back in.
I use Accurx frequently to message patients, and find it a quick, effective and reliable method of communication. Patients also seem to find it easy to use and appear satisfied with the ways we've implemented it into our service provision.
I'm a big fan of accurx. I find it really useful for texting patients information, whether about their medication, negative results, reminders or how to book an appointment. It's helpful when doing routine prescribing and you can ask a patient to reply with a photo if need be. It definitely makes life easier.
