Maximising Team Performance in GP Surgeries

General Practice in the UK is under unprecedented pressure. From the rising demand for appointments to the administrative burden on reception teams, every corner of a GP surgery feels the strain. Practice Managers face the challenging task of maintaining high standards of patient care while juggling limited resources, stretched budgets, and an often-overwhelmed workforce.

The solution isn’t just about working harder; it’s about working smarter. By enabling clinical and administrative teams to perform at their best, surgeries can achieve better outcomes for both patients and staff. QuantumLoopAi, through solutions like EMMA (Enhanced Medical Management Assistant), is helping practices across the country do just that—delivering transformative results for teams and the patients they serve.

Enabling Clinicians to Work at the Top of Their License

GPs are among the most highly trained—and highly valuable—resources in the NHS. Yet, far too often, their time is consumed by tasks that don’t require their specialised expertise. A significant factor in resolving this is effective care navigation.

Experienced receptionists play a pivotal role here. By efficiently navigating patients to the right clinician or service, they ensure GPs can focus on delivering care that only they are qualified to provide. Whether it’s directing a patient to a nurse for a routine vaccination or guiding them toward an online resource, effective care navigation prevents bottlenecks, improves access, and enables clinicians to work at the top of their license.

However, care navigation isn’t easy. It requires time, training, and a reception team that isn’t bogged down by repetitive tasks like data entry or fielding endless calls during the 8am rush. This is where technology becomes a game-changer.

Removing the Frustrations of Reception and Admin Roles

Receptionists and administrative teams are often the unsung heroes of GP surgeries. They are the first point of contact for patients and manage everything from appointment bookings to data entry. But let’s face it—there are parts of their jobs that few would miss.

Take the 8am rush, for instance. The chaos of answering a never-ending stream of calls can leave even the most experienced receptionist feeling drained before the day has properly started. Then there’s the mundane but essential task of transferring data from calls into clinical software like Accurx, eConsult, and PATCHS. These tasks, though vital, are repetitive and time-consuming, taking staff away from the kind of patient-focused work that brings satisfaction to their roles.

QuantumLoopAi’s AI-powered solutions, such as EMMA, can handle these routine tasks seamlessly. By answering 100% of calls within three rings and automating tasks like data entry, EMMA reduces the workload on reception teams and ensures patients aren’t left waiting. The result? A calmer, more focused administrative team that can dedicate its time to the tasks that matter most—helping patients and supporting clinicians.

Reducing Churn and Sick Leave

Job satisfaction in reception and admin roles has a direct impact on staff retention and absenteeism. High churn rates disrupt the smooth running of a surgery, leading to increased recruitment and training costs—not to mention the morale-sapping effect of a constantly changing team.

When receptionists are overwhelmed by high call volumes or stuck with repetitive tasks, job dissatisfaction sets in. This often leads to higher levels of sick leave and, ultimately, staff leaving the role altogether.

By automating the parts of the job that staff dislike most, QuantumLoopAi helps improve job satisfaction. Receptionists are no longer inundated with calls or bogged down by data entry, allowing them to focus on more meaningful work. The impact? Happier, more engaged staff who are less likely to take sick leave or look for other opportunities. This stability reduces the costs and disruption associated with recruitment, training, and temporary cover.

Maximising Efficiency and Utilisation of Resources

Improved care navigation and reduced administrative burdens don’t just benefit receptionists—they have a ripple effect across the entire surgery. With the right patients being directed to the right services, clinicians can operate more efficiently. GPs are freed from dealing with routine cases that could be handled by other members of the team, while administrative staff are better able to support their colleagues.

This efficiency is critical at a time when GP surgeries are being asked to do more with less. By ensuring that every team member can focus on the tasks they’re best equipped to handle, QuantumLoopAi helps surgeries make the most of their resources.

Real Results, Real Impact

Across the country, GP surgeries are already seeing the transformative effects of QuantumLoopAi’s solutions. Reception teams report less stress and higher job satisfaction, while GPs are able to focus on clinical care rather than administrative tasks. Patients, meanwhile, enjoy faster access to care, with no more waiting in endless call queues or chasing up appointments.

The interest in QuantumLoopAi is growing rapidly, as more surgeries and Primary Care Networks (PCNs) recognise the value of AI-powered solutions like EMMA. By addressing some of the most common pain points in GP surgeries, QuantumLoopAi is not just improving operations—it’s making life better for patients, staff, and clinicians alike.
