Oxymoron
The name is a joke right? It is anything but swift. It does not queue. A bigger problem, but we are witnessing the decline and inevitable death of the NHS, and organisations like Swiftqueue Technologies are symptoms of the disease. Just a few months ago, I could walk down to my local hospital, take a ticket, sit down and get a blood test. I could literally do this the same day as the GP gave me the form. Sure there would be a bit of a queue but there was a team of skilled and friendly phlebotomists who would work their way through. The system worked, it was flexible, efficient and quick, one of the few services left in the NHS that was worthy of praise. Then the NHS decided to squander my taxes on the awful service provided by the laughably named Swiftqueue Technologies. I have just received the form, before April I would have walked down this afternoon, but now I must use 'Swiftqueue'. And this is how the experience goes Select hospital Select blood test Get told that the earliest appoint is in a week. So that is a massive downgrade. So select a date and time, but now it wants me to create an account. So do that, only be told that I have to select another date and time because the one previously selected has gone. So it isn't a QUEUE then is it! So do that, but the 'Swiftqueue' servers are so slow, that this selection has gone to. Round in circles several times until I finally have an appointment. Genuine question - before April, patients could just turn up and be seen. Now it takes 7 days to be seen, why is this - have some of the phlebotomists be sacked, or are they now sat twiddling their thumbs with little work to do? The NHS should be spending my taxes on medical staff not squandering it on useless systems like Swiftqueue. Analysing the name Swiftqueue It is not Swift It does not implement a queue So suggesting a name change to Sluggishfreeforall
