Practice Staff
Practice Manager: Janet Edwards
She is responsible for the overall co-ordination of surgery staff and business affairs. She will be pleased to help with any complaints, suggestions or queries.
Receptionists
The receptionists are your first contact with the surgery and they try to be as helpful as possible in often quite difficult circumstances.
They will need a limited amount of information (which is kept in full confidence) in order to arrange appointments.
Please be a PATIENT patient.
Secretaries And Computer Operators
We employ a number of staff who work behind the scenes helping with the day-to-day hospital referrals and lab results etc.
