Our data administrators are an important part of this surgery. They work closely along side the GP's and other medical teams to ensure any referrals are done correctly and efficiently, booking appointments for patients at the GP's request and attaching all incoming paperwork relevant to a patient into the patient's medical records. They also make sure that all new patient notes are received and allocated.

Reception

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.
