Medical Administrators
Our Medical Administrators 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. Giving them an indication of your problem can help them provide a prompt answer and direct you to the most appropriate health professional. They are trained to be discreet and maintain confidentiality at all times. Our Medical Administrators make most of the patient appointments here. They also perform other important tasks, such as issuing repeat prescriptions, dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with private work requests (for example, holiday cancellation forms), registering patients, processing patient registrations, and carrying out practice searches and audits.
