Receptionists make most of the patient appointments with the GPs and nurses and are required to ask for basic details regarding your problem. They also perform other important tasks such as issuing repeat prescriptions and dealing with prescription enquiries, dealing with financial claims, dealing with patient records and carrying out searches and practice audits.
