Improving Access to Our Phone Lines

We’re always looking for ways to make it easier for patients to contact Upton Group Practice.

After reviewing our phone data, we identified that our busiest time is between 8am and 10am.

To improve access during these peak hours, we are:

• Prioritising inbound calls between 8–10am
• Reducing outbound calls during this time
• Moving follow-up and admin calls to later in the day
• Continuing to monitor call activity
These changes aim to reduce waiting times and improve patient access.

14/04/2026

We will close at 12:30 TODAY for staff training. If you need medical advice or attention, please call 111 or attend your walk-in-centre.
