Arklow Medical Practice
Arklow Medical Practice, established over 30 years ago, provides high quality personal and continuing medical care to patients and families in the Wicklow area.
As well as operating as a day-to-day GP surgery, the practice also runs a variety of clinics for the management of chronic diseases such as asthma and diabetes, and offers a host of other medical services including antenatal and postnatal care, minor surgery, childhood vaccinations and regular check-ups.
As an ever-growing business, Arklow Medical Practice required a new telephone system to facilitate expansion. The existing phone system was restricted to just two incoming lines and was placed under significant pressure when the Covid-19 pandemic hit.
The practice required a new expanded hosted voice system that included the ability to accommodate multiple lines, as well as a system that could offer updated information messages to patients while they were on-hold.
Carole Murray, Practice Manager at Arklow Medical Practice, sought advice on telecoms providers from an established nationwide group of Practice Managers that she is a member of and she says that Magnet Plus was the name that kept coming up.
“We were quite concerned about introducing a new telephone system when we were already so busy with the pandemic, but we needn’t have worried, as the entire transition was made seamless by the expert Magnet Plus team. From the start of the process, through to the training of our staff, the service provided by Magnet Plus was excellent.”
“We now have the added benefit of being able to record messages for patients to listen to while waiting, including messages for Covid-19 clinic dates or flu vaccinations. We also have the added bonus of each extension now having its own line for outgoing calls. Our old system only had two incoming lines but if someone made a call, this tied up one of the incoming lines. We now have a constant flow of calls coming in that can be answered by any extension or group we wish.”
“The Magnet Plus Customer Service Team has always been fantastic with us. Even now, over a year later, I can just email Anthony, the Magnet Plus Customer Success Trainer, if I have any queries and everything is sorted immediately. Nothing is ever too much trouble.”
