PRACTICE MANAGER

Ms Susan Morgan
Susan is responsible for the general management of the surgery. She is supported by a team of 23 staff including reception staff, administrative staff, an IT Technician, and cleaning staff. All who work extremely hard to ensure the smooth and efficient running of the practice.

Reception team

Our team of fully trained receptionists are there to help you by making appointments to see the doctors or advising on administrative problems. They have a difficult job to do with telephone calls and enquiries coming from every direction. When you telephone for medical attention the receptionist may need to ask one or two questions in order to judge the urgency of your request. They have been asked to do this, but this information you give them will always be treated in confidence as they are bound by the same rules of confidentiality as doctors and nurses. If they cannot answer a query they will undertake to find someone else who can.
