The 8-step approach behind the transformation

1

Identified the Opportunity

Redmoor was commissioned to support Sale Central PCN following cloud telephony upgrades that hadn’t yet delivered on access expectations.
2

Listened to the Experience

Mystery shopper calls and call data helped surface bottlenecks, patient drop-off points, and missing features.
3

Mapped the Journey

Each practice’s call flow was audited—from call tree structure to NHS App promotion, callback functions, and routing logic.
4

Delivered a Clear Plan

Tailored recommendations covered missed call handling, message scripting, queue management, and feature enablement.
5

Upgraded Features Fast

Within months, 69% of missing features (like referrals, test results, and callback) were enabled across the network.
6

Drove Measurable Change

Washway Road cut 346 calls/month. Firsway reduced calls by 455 and cut abandoned calls by 162.
7

Maintained High Responsiveness

Despite greater menu complexity, average answer times across the PCN remained under 2 minutes.
8

Built a Consistent Standard

Each practice now operates with a consistent, patient-focused approach—improving experience and supporting Modern General Practice Access.
