The Clinic is, in practise, incommunicado. I am receiving treatment, under the NHS, at the Candover Clinic. During this I have received 3 paper communications. One prints the words “Telephone number” followed by blank. A second gives a telephone number. The answering computer requires one of 9 options. None of the keywords in the options were on the paper. Nor were the option words familiar to my understanding of the treatment. A third gives a number, which answers with a message, that in effect says – Due to Covid, we are too busy to answer the phone. Ironically the Candover staff were insistent that I phone for any problem. I explained the problem. Finally one of the staff gave me the North Hants Hospital number. Albeit with a human, this requires option choices. None of the keywords known to the NHH Call Centre matched the keywords on the 3 papers. The Candover Administators must integrate their paper communication with their telephone communication.
