Please remember to take advantage of the telephone QueueBuster feature.

If you are over 10th place you will have the option to be called back. Please make sure you are not calling from an unknown number or we wont be able to reach you, you will then be called back by a member of staff when the call would be at the front of the queue.

If a patient on a mobile phone fails to answer, or is busy, a text message will be sent to inform them that they have missed the call. 

If you call back the same day as missing our call the system will prioritise the call, so you do not have to wait in the queue again.

If you get a message saying 'Transfer failed' in the morning this is due to the lines being full. We have limited spaces (65 max at one time) in the queue, as patients complained about waiting times when it was unlimited.

If everyone starts to use the queuebuster option we can increase the quantity of places in the queue, as you will not be holding on listening to the dreaded hold music, this also would mean no more transfer failed messages waiting for a space to open up.
