Our Medical Receptionists all have an important role in supporting you to access the care you need.
The reception team will ask you some questions when you request an appointment. The information you give them helps the GPs to determine the urgency of your request, so it is important that you give as much information as possible to help plan the workload for the day. Patients in the greatest need are dealt with first.
Our Reception team will not make clinical decisions and have had training to help patients get to the most appropriate service. They are also bound by the same patient confidentiality principles as our clinical staff.
The Reception team at Whitevale Medical Group are here to help, please treat them with courtesy.
