General practice
The lunchtime gap, closed.
“Within the first fortnight the recall list, which had been rolling over for months, was worked through by the agent in the quiet hours.”

The overnight enquiry, kept.
“The practice wakes up to confirmed appointments rather than a silent message bank.”
Allied health group
One front desk for three sites.
“Reception staff at all three sites were freed from the phones during clinic hours, and the group could finally see, in one place, how many calls came in.”
