Receptionists
The Receptionists are there to help you – they are your initial link with the doctor or nurse. As there are only so many appointments available during any one clinic session, please be patient and remember that they have a very difficult job; they have to please both you and the doctors! They are trained to ask information from patients and are fully aware of the need to keep information confidential. Please cooperate with them if they ask you for details of your illness or problem.
