We have 10 part time receptionists who are the first members of the practice team that you will meet. They are usually the busiest members of the practice and work under extreme pressure. Their function is to guide you through the practice and to arrange appointments. They often have a difficult job to do and may sometimes need to ask questions about the nature of your illness to assist the doctor in the smooth running of the surgery.
Please treat them with respect.
