Reception

Receptionists provide an important link with the practice and are your initial contact point for all enquiries. They provide information on services and will direct you to the right person depending on your health issue or query. This will sometimes be a service or health professional outwith the practice (for example, pharmacist, dentist or optician). To provide accurate advice the receptionist will normally ask the reason why you are calling. This information is completely confidential and the reception team are bound by the same rules of confidentiality as all other practice staff. If your problem is sensitive or very personal then please explain this.
