What Is a Call Centre for Healthcare?

A healthcare contact centre is a specialised customer service centre committed to handling communications and support for organisations in the healthcare sector. The agents here can handle a range of tasks, from scheduling appointments to managing patient enquiries. The overall objective of healthcare call centres in the UK and beyond is to enhance the patient experience and boost operational efficiencies.

With this goal in mind, Whistl provides the right technology solutions, enabling us to integrate with any web-based platform or call program easily. This means our agents can quickly schedule appointments and answer your customers' or patients' booking queries on your behalf, just as we would if we worked within the same business as you. 

Healthcare Call Centre Support from Whistl

In the United Kingdom, improvements in healthcare and lifestyles have resulted in more people living longer, increasing the old-age dependency ratio (OADR). If your business offers primary or secondary care services to the older population, ensure it stands out from its peers with excellent customer service and support. This will relieve the pressure on your staff so they can focus on the other aspects of your health and wellbeing business.

Our team is dedicated to timely and reliable resolution of service issues, ensuring high customer satisfaction. This allows you to concentrate on smoothly functioning vital public services and be confident in our efficient support.

Frequently Asked Questions: Healthcare Customer Support

Which contact channels can be managed?

We offer solutions across all customer communication channels, including phone calls, social media, email, live chat, and messaging apps. We can support on a single channel, multiple or across all channels.  

How long does it take to start managing our customer service?

The timeline for a customer service program can vary depending on complexity and scale. However, a straightforward implementation could be within 4 to 8 weeks from contract signing to the first call. This includes training agents to become experts in your product/service.

Can your agents use our existing CRM and tech stack?

Yes, our team can integrate into existing integrations, and we ensure secure, real-time data synchronisation for continuity. Our team is proficient in working with leading customer experience platforms, including Salesforce, Zendesk, MaxContact and Gorgias. We would be happy to speak to you about your integration requirements. 

What's your average agent tenure and why does that matter?

Whistl agents have an average tenure of 9-10 years, compared to the contact centre industry average of 1-2 years. The extended tenure allows our teams to resolve issues faster (first-contact resolution), understand your business better, and provide superior customer experience. Our clients benefit from consistent service quality and institutional knowledge that new hires can't replicate.
