IT Solutions for GP Practices
Operating within a demanding sector requires communication solutions that are effective and efficient, and which are able to adapt to a constantly changing internal and external environment.
With over 17 years’ experience of serving GP Practices, Fifteen Group are one of the UK’s leading technology suppliers, providing award winning solutions across the UK that are bespoke to the practice and the needs of the community they serve.
The Challenges
Having ineffective communication solutions within a GP Practice can leave patients, suppliers and staff feeling frustrated and can leave a long lasting negative perception of the practice as a whole.
Some of these issues include:
- A phone constantly ringing out
- Getting through to an answering machine
- Receiving too many options
- Being put on hold even after the options have been selected
- Not being able to offer patients an alternative way of making contact
Communication solutions need to be driven by your patient’s needs and they should be able to adapt to changes within the practice easily and effectively.
- When was the last time you reviewed your telephone system?
- Are you able to measure the performance of the telephone system?
- How does your telephone system and service perform in patient surveys?
- Would you like to be able to record conversations?
- Has your practice recently grown in size but your communication capabilities haven’t?
Having the right system in place can ease some of the burden and improve the way the GP practice operates.

Call Performance and Measurement
To fully understand the type of service your patients are receiving, measurement of call performance becomes essential.
- Does the number of incoming calls outweigh the capabilities of staff?
- Can you compare high volumes of calls with seasonal fluctuations?
- Would you like to record conversations?
- Does the performance of the telephone system impact on the overall performance of the practice?
- Would your patients like to be able to communicate via other means?
Fifteen Digital carried out an assessment and came up with a total solution that suited all of our requirements, their advice was very beneficial and the service from the installation engineers was second to none. Not only was the project completed within time and budget, but the after sales service was excellent!
