Care Navigation - coming soon!

Over the coming months you will notice your Receptionist asking you for a brief outline of your problem when you call to make an appointment, it’s not because they are nosey! This new way of working is about offering you more choice and enabling you to see other Specialists outside the practice too. This option will often be quicker and you may not need to see the GP each time. The choice is always yours though and you will never be refused the option to book a GP appointment!

Receptionists provide an important link for patients with the practice and are your initial contact point for general enquiries. They can provide basic information on services and results and direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.

The practice has 1 senior receptionist and 13 receptionists / administrative staff.
