Our Administration Staff

Receptionists

We have a team of receptionists who are your first point of contact. When telephoning for medical attention the receptionist may ask you for a few details. All reception staff are fully trained and ask for these details in order that we can help you in the most appropriate way. Our receptionists are very busy at certain times of the day and we ask that you be patient. The Receptionists ease the flow of patients for the Doctors and Nurses and keep the practice running smoothly. They are here to help you.

Sometimes they may need to ask for further details. They are not being nosey and are bound by the same rules of confidentiality as the Doctors and Nurses. All medical information, which is held on your behalf, is governed by the Data Protection Act and staff are vigilant in ensuring that only essential information is made known to other practice staff.

Reception is the engine house of the surgery, with the Receptionists doing a wide range of administrative jobs, answering telephone calls and greeting patients at the counter. At times there may be slight delays so please be patient until they can attend to you.

Medical Secretary

Hazel is the practice’s medical secretary. She has worked at the practice for many years and is an absolute font of knowledge. Hazel is happy to help with enquiries, particular relating to referrals.

Practice Staff are bound by the same confidentiality rules as Doctors. We comply fully with the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
