The solution: turning valuable insights into action
Turn every call into actionable insight
A dedicated analytics dashboard gave West Leeds Family Practice a clear view of demand across three sites, showing call volumes, waiting times, handling times and agent availability. Managers could immediately identify pressure points and understand where resources were needed most.
Use intelligence to redesign the service
Analysis revealed demand peaks first thing in the morning and between 12:00 and 13:00, enabling the practice to create a six-person Booking Service Advisor team and strengthen call coverage at the busiest times. Data-led routing and more focused workflows reduced pressure on reception teams while helping patients reach the right people faster.
Make every staffing decision count
Managers now have the intelligence to align staffing with real patient demand, refine call routing and identify opportunities to improve workflows. Instead of reacting to queues and complaints, the practice can make informed, proactive decisions that support its teams and create a more responsive service for more than 20,000 patients.

“The Redcentric telephony system gives us a lot more flexibility. We can quickly make changes to messaging and channel calls to different teams and decide how we can adapt the way our teams work.
