Receptionists
Our team of receptionists are trained to help you and are bound by the same code of confidentiality as the Doctors and Nurses. At times they may need to ask you certain relevant medical details at times in order to allow the right amount of time for appointments, advise who might be the best person to see initially etc.
Their job is a difficult one - mutual courtesy will ‘oil the wheels’!
