Mrs Joanne Lobjoie Receptionist
Mrs Fiona Soper Receptionist
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, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.
Receptionists will ask questions about your appointment request in order to direct you to the most appropriate service. You may be directed to use other services in the community.
