Work at reception can at times be very demanding and although we are constantly striving to improve the way we deal with you as a patient, please do not be upset if we sometimes appear to be a bit abrupt – rest assured it is just the pressure of the job and not a statement about you.

We all actually really like our patients!

If you do feel treated unfairly or impolitely, please tell us straight away, so any issue can hopefully be resolved before anger escalates it. It is our main aim to provide a high quality, friendly and personal service! If you feel that you cannot address staff at reception directly about any concerns, please ask to speak to the practice manager.
