Provide general assistance to the practice team and project a positive and friendly image to patients and other visitors, either in person or via the telephone.

**Key Duties & Responsibilities**:

- Ensure an effective and efficient reception service is provided to patients and any other visitors to the practice. Acknowledge a patients arrival at the desk within 2/3 minutes of arriving, if the situation is unmanageable at the time due to the amount of patients waiting then advise the patients in the queue you will be with them as soon as possible and call for assistance.
- Deal with all general enquiries, explain procedures and make new and follow-up appointments. This requires a helpful attitude even when experiencing negative, unresponsive and sometimes verbally abusive behaviour from patients. Never lose your temper with patients; refer to your line manager if you feel unable to help.
- Communicate test results using taught skills and ensuring accuracy
- Alert Management on patients records
- Using your own judgment and communication skills ensure that patients with no prior appointment but who need urgent consultation are seen in a logical and non-disruptive manner.
- Be aware of your surroundings and of the patients in the waiting room. Be aware of which doctors and nurses are currently working in the building and whether they have arrived for their clinics. Observe clinics running late and advice patients waiting and offer apologies.

- Ensure that you provide an efficient, professional and detailed handover to the member of staff taking over from you before you leave your duty.
- Drink/rest breaks are not permitted unless your contract has specifically detailed these. Obtaining drinks should only be done by absolutely ensuring that your position is covered whilst you leave it to make a drink. At no time should you leave your post to make a drink if it cannot be covered by another member of the team. This means that phones should never be left with only 1 person to answer them.
- Enter requests for home visits onto the home visit sessions on EMIS ensuring careful recording of all relevant details and where necessary refer to Duty Doctor.
- Participate on a daily basis in task management and Docman tasks and ensure that tasks are kept up to date at all times.
