30 minutes wait in a cue to talk to a staff member. Is to a fact of life these days once talking to staff very helpful. But the seacoast ambulance triage system did not work for whot I needed.

I have a accident at work and got a bad injury on my leg, I rang the surgery and they were able to fit me in on that day with the nurse and she was amazing.
Waited half an hour to get through.
Then was told I would get a call from doctor between 9-12, then received a text saying appointment confirmed for 10.20
Not clear if this was a call or surgery appointment.
Tried to call three times to confirm, was out in three long queues and with one of them I was cut off when next in line
Your telephone queue system is not working and very patient unfriendly
Thank you for your feedback, and I am sorry that you have experienced these problems. We are aware that there are currently long waits to get through to us on the phone, and that patients are being cut off. It is a long-standing issue that we have tried to resolve with our current phone company but they have been unable to locate the problem. We will be moving to a new phone system by the end of the year that should give all our patients a better experience.
The doctor listened to my problem, looked up my history and asked me relevant questions. He came across as friendly and very professional. He explained the medication and gave me good advice
I had a blood test appointment but the hospital didn’t provide the required form.
The nurse made time to see me again just two hours later and was able to source the form on line upon seeing my hospital letter. Her manner was friendly and helpful.
