Update: November 2024 – How is triage going so far?

70% forms filled by patients online, 30% filled by reception

Most consultations received in a day = 192 on Monday 21^st October.

Of those received…

48% of patients booked a face-to-face appointment (60% on the day, 40% booked up to 2 weeks ahead).

19% of patients booked a phone call appointment

33% of patients responded to on the day with advice, a prescription, or a referral.

Outcome

53% of patients Very Satisfied with response, 23% Satisfied with the process (feedback from our virtual patient participation group).

As 33% of consults are being dealt with by the triaging GP, this frees up GP appointments in general and is really helping in dealing with pressure on the surgery as Winter begins!

Car Park Closures

On Saturday 21st December the car park will be closed in the morning to allow for emergency repairs to be made. Please plan to access Shadforths Pharmacy by another route. 

From Friday 24th - Sunday 26th January the car park will be closed for full repairs of the front drive to be made. Patients will be made aware of this as they call for appointments that day. Please do not drive to the surgery at this time.
