What the phone looks like for a Southampton veterinary practice
Southampton and the wider Hampshire has a population of around 900,000, built on maritime, logistics and marine trades. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a veterinary practice working across Portswood, Bitterne and Shirley most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
A frightened owner with a sick animal rings until someone answers, and they remember which practice did.
Callwise answers on your own 023 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Southampton veterinary practices ask us
Do we keep our 023 number?
Yes. Your existing 023 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Southampton customers reach you changes.
Do you work with veterinary practices outside Southampton?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Southampton and everywhere across Hampshire is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
What happens if an animal is in danger?
Emergencies are the first thing you configure. Anything on your list stops everything else, gives the owner your emergency instructions and alerts the on call vet immediately.
Can it take repeat prescription requests?
Yes, with the animal's name, the medication and the owner's details, sent through to the practice to dispense.
Will it give advice about a poorly pet?
Never. No clinical advice of any kind. It gathers the facts, escalates if it matches your urgent list and books if it does not.
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Southampton customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
