Receptionist
CurrentAnswered hundreds of calls daily for a large, growing surgery to 23,000 patients in my local area. Supported answering queries, booking doctors and nurse appointments as well as resolving admin issues. I also supported in the reception desk in a patient-facing role, dealing with challenging and urgent queries. In doing this, I have worked with many departments and the doctors themselves.Took on additional ad hoc responsibilities including leading the physical deductions process (FP22) and resolving a 2 year backlog. Also further responsible for registering new patients through comprehensive use of EMIS. For both of these, I have also trained over 10 staff in the new streamlined process I created for the FP22s, and supported training new starters in this. Recieved 'star of the month' award for my hard work in this area in the practice.Also supported the starting of the prescription line open daily. I am fully trained in the process of requesting and sorting prescriptions, including organising the correct medication reviews. Alongside this, I have basic life support training, mental health training and safeguarding training amonst others.I have recently been elected to run the social committee with other GPs and mental health staff.
