GP Surgery Telecommunications

Increasing demand for UK healthcare – and the resulting pressure on organisations to manage it – is a well-known issue. With budgets tight and resources stretched, any initiative that helps make processes more efficient and treatment more responsive is welcomed.In such a critical environment, a reliable solution is essential and Premier Patient Line, as part of the Premier Choice Group, can provide it.

With experience in bespoke telecom solutions for the Healthcare Sector since 2001, Premier Patient Line are ideally placed to ensure you receive the right call solution for your specific surgery needs. As a result, you’ll be able to manage more appointments (and miss less), give patients an all-round better experience, offer relevant advice directly over the phone, and even help them help themselves with self-service call features.

Some of the services your practice may require, which Premier Patient Line provides, include:

  • improved telephone systems
  • integrated mobile phones
  • connectivity for your site(s)
  • innovative patient access technology
  • refined call recording and logging systems

Premier Patient Line also provide bespoke solutions which complement the individual duties of your particular surgery. Every solution is built with two important things in mind, effective communication and telephony systems, and effective patient access solutions.

Patient Access
One of the biggest patient complaints is that they aren’t able to get through to the surgery in order to make an appointment. Premier Patient Line can help you improve the communications between your surgery, staff and patients.



Telephone Systems
Effective communication and telephony is extremely important for modern GP surgeries and practices of all sizes, but it is not always easy to identify the right solution. Premier Patient Line have been helping surgeries for over 15 years and will build a solution exclusively around your requirements.

 

 

Call Recording
Our secure and reliable call recording solution can support you in situations where patients are rude or abusive, and can provide essential lawful evidence should you need it. Recordings can be quickly located using multiple search criteria (phone number, date, time etc.) ensuring GDPR requirements for Right to Access, Right to be Forgotten and Data Portability can be complied with.

 

Internet and WiFi
Every practice needs connectivity in some form or another, whether it be fibre, ASDL, EFM or a Leased Line. We put all customers on our Private Wide Area Network (PWAN) which ensures their data travels over our secure connection and is not subject to the risks of the public internet.

We’ve just added call recording with our account manager Dan who was very helpful. I wasn’t there the day it went in but my colleague advised the engineers were good. We’ve been with Premier since 2015 and would be happy to give them 5 stars.

James was our account manager for putting in our new system last November and he was perfect! The engineer was really good and perfectly amiable. We had a little bit of downtime, nothing major - we did have power cut the week after but the telephone guys dealt with it very well. We’d give 4.5 as there was a bit of a delay with the Patient connect and Call recording.

We’ve just had a new system put in by Premier Patient Line and just wanted to say thank you as it went a lot smoother than we thought with two practices coming together. We met Mark when Premier Patient Line sponsored our local practice manager meeting. We were very satisfied with the switch-over and the engineers were great.

The transition process was excellent. The engineers that attended were knowledgeable and worked with the practice so there was minimal disruption. The equipment for call recording has turned up (just when they said it would) and we are just waiting to have that installed.
Excellent job. Thank you Danny for your patience and for explaining everything in detail.

Premier came and replaced our old Nortel PBX that was no longer maintainable. This is all complete except for one outstanding query that they’re resolving. The engineers were excellent and we didn’t have any downtime. We have been with Premier since 2013 and have very good service. Whenever there were problems people worked hard to get them resolved. We would rate them 5 stars and have recommended them to other practices.

Premier has just upgraded our system - another very smooth transaction since joining them in 2009. Dan took us through the order process which was fine and all the work has been completed. The engineers were great, very accommodating and didn't intrude on the workers. We wanted something moved to a different place and the engineer had no issue doing it. There was no downtime during the switchover so no disruptions.

We signed up with Premier in March. The order process was fine and Marie came straight back to us when we had any queries. There was a slight glitch beyond Premier’s control during the installation and a slight delay in the broadband for the SIP which is now happening next week but the engineers were great and kept asking if we needed anything. There was no downtime as such, just a few teething problems. We are still getting some ghost calls which the engineer has raised with BT but we’re happy to give them 5 stars for our experience so far!

We've been with Premier since 2012 but just moved sites and renamed our practice. Our account manager Dan was cool but always is with us.

We joined Premier Choice in 2015 but we’ve just added call recording with our new account manager Dan P who was fabulous! The engineers were very good. We had a little confusion after the install as we thought they were coming back but then they didn’t need to. We need a bit more training on the system and some of the messages need changing but they will get this sorted for us. Other than that it’s been very good and the service they have provided has always been good. We would recommend them to anyone, whenever I go to forums and someone else is looking at telecoms I always recommend Premier.

We’ve just had 4 sites taken over by Premier. The order process was good but there was a bit of confusion with regards to how many systems had been ordered. There was also a bit of a mix up with delivery on the headsets. The work wasn’t quite up to our expectations and Premier will have to come back to make some changes and give us some training on call recording. However, the engineers were very good and there wasn’t any downtime when we switched over. The communication between head office and the engineers wasn’t great which was a shame. The installation didn’t go perfectly but overall we’re happy.

James organised our installation for us and the order process was very good. We couldn’t be happier with the installation. Our engineers, Tony and Ian, were great and very helpful in explaining everything we needed know. If we weren’t sure about something, they would explain it again until I was happy with it. We did experience some issues in the switch over but this was the BT Openreach engineer, not Premier Patient Line. The engineers were very accommodating and they made sure we were happy with everything before they left.

I know that it is very rare for people to say thank you and we are all too quick to complain but I would like to pass on my thanks to your company and especially with regards to one of your members of staff.

This week you may know that we had our new telephone system installed and Tracey Houghton was the lady in charge along with her lovely engineers. Tracey was absolutely fantastic. She has helped us tremendously, written protocols and has recorded the Surgery messages. There are too many people that make complaints and do not ever praise people when it is due. Tracey is an absolute asset to your company.

I did thank Tracey whilst she was here but would be very grateful if you could pass on our thanks once again.

We have now had our new telephone system in place for just over a month and we love it. The reporting and auditing tools are fab and we use the overview screen every morning between 9am - 10am to monitor call demand and log in to help answer calls so that patients dont have to wait in the queue for more than a minute or so.

I had been researching telephone systems to replace our old system and found Premier Patient Line to be the most helpful and best system for our practice. The install went without a hitch and we barely noticed the engineers as they went round installing the new system.

Tracey was wonderful, helping us with the phone messages and how best to utilise the system to the best advantage for both staff and patients. Thank you to everyone at Premier for all your help and support. Fab service! We look forward to working with you for many years.
