Our Medical Secretaries support our clinicians by processing medical correspondence and managing referrals to secondary care and community services.
They also process requests for access to medical records and medical reports. They deal with queries from patients, hospitals, community care, the registry office, and other outside agencies, they function as an important liaison between patients and the clinicians.
Reception and Admin Team
Read more about
Our growing team of Medical Receptionists / Administrators perform a wide range variety of administrative tasks to support the practice, including answering queries and booking appointments. They are the first point of contact for all patients and visitors.
Our receptionists are trained to obtain a brief reason for your call as their may be an alternative professional to help you with your problem.
In addition to the wide range of services provided by allied health professionals in the practice, there are many in the local area for example, physiotherapy, community pharmacy, podiatry, MIND, talking therapies or urgent eye care service.
These alternative services may be quicker meaning you may not need to see the GP at all. Of course, you do not have to do this, but it would help us to help you and other patients.
Please be patient with our staff, as a Practice we are very aware that calling or visiting your GP can, at times, be stressful and concerning for patients. Delays in obtaining appointments and delays in surgery times, due to unforeseen emergency demand, can also add to these concerns.
Book an appointment
You can book an appointment online to see your GP or one of our nurses.
