Reception

Ashley Medical Centre has a team of 7 clerical/administrative staff who support the Practice Manager, Doctors and Nurses. These staff are responsible for the day-to-day running of the Reception and surgeries. Information may be passed to Reception Staff in order to enable Doctors and Nurses to make decisions about your care. Clerical/Administrative staff, like Doctors and Nurses, are bound by the Data Protection Act, therefore confidential, private and sensitive information may be given to them in order for them to assist you, and inform Doctors and Nurses of your needs.

We ask Patients that they provide Reception Staff with as much detail as possible. It maybe that your request can be dealt with more quickly via a request on the Acute screen for the GPs or via our Practice Nurse.
Our Reception staff deal with prescriptions both repeat and acute; hospital letters; private medical reports; booking of appointments for all clinicians and clinics; They have access to all Patients records. However they can only work within the limits of their responsibility and cannot issue or reauthorise medication or sickness certificates.
Our aim is to offer a professional, friendly efficient service to all our Patients. In some instances this can take time and we ask that Patients be patient and respect the rights of other Patients including confidentiality whilst at the reception desk and on the telephone. Staff will attend to Patients as quickly as possible.
