Ms Sarah Harcher Administrator/Reception
Ms Lucy Giles Administrator/Reception
Ms Susan O’Regan Secretarial/Reception
These front-line staff work in a busy environment and frequently
have to deal with difficult and distressing situations. They are
trained to help you and, in order to do so quickly and
appropriately, they may have to ask for information about your
condition or other personal details. They organise registrations, appointments, prescription
requests, and various other matters such as passport signing. You
can get your laboratory and x-ray results from them, in most cases,
once the clinical staff have decided on what action , if any, is
needed. You should let them know, in confidence, if your
problem is urgent, so they can make sure you are seen quickly.
