Administration
There are a number of secretarial and reception staff at the practice, including Lousie Noble (reception manager). All staff play a crucial role in the day to day running of the practice. All staff are trained to work in complete confidence and you can be assured that they will do their best to deal with every enquiry in an appropriate and sensitive way.
They do not offer medical advice but may be able to resolve queries and sign post to relevant services and information.
It is a legal requirement that confidentiality of patients’ records is maintained at the highest level by all staff.
Reception
They are vital in the smooth running of the practice and anything confidential will be treated in confidence. Requests for appointments and home visits, as well as repeat prescriptions should be made via reception staff. They can also pass on messages to the doctors and please do not be offended if they ask further questions regarding this, since it can be helpful in optimising your management.
Their job can be very stressful, especially at busy times and please help them by showing patience in these cases.
We also have a dedicated medical secretarial team that are available to answer queries regarding hospital and other clinical referrals.
