Receptionists/Healthcare Navigators – 22 staff
Our Reception team have now been trained as Healthcare Navigators in order to assist GP’s with signposting the patients to the correct service or clinician. In order for this to be effective the navigators are required to ask several questions of the patients who are telephoning to make an appointment, to ensure that the patients are offered the best route available and maximise efficiency for both the patients and the clinicians at the practice.
We currently employ 22 Healthcare navigators. They are a major part of our team and their role is varied including dealing with the telephones, prescription requests, administrative tasks for both patients and GP’s/Nurses as well as welcoming you at the Front desk when you attend the surgery. They will always do their utmost to provide you with the best possible service.
Medical Secretaries – Rose & Heather
This team deals with all of the referrals to Hospitals or elsewhere. Once you have seen a GP, if a referral is required for further treatment, the team will type the referral and process it through to the Devon Referral Service or relevant organisation.
Medical notes summarisers
This smaller team is responsible for the medical records coming into the Practice – they will ensure the notes are entered onto the clinical IT system in a clear format, structured to ensure ease of identifying major or minor illness for the clinician using the medical record with the patient.
