Practice Management

Mrs Karen Elizabeth Reed

Our Practice Manager is responsible for the day-to-day administration and overview of the practice. We are constantly looking to improve our services further and the Practice Manager will be pleased to receive your comments and suggestions. These will be given careful consideration. There are boxes for comments in the waiting rooms.

Administration

Our part-time receptionist/dispensers are at the nub of the day-to-day business of the practice. They are responsible for its smooth running and are the first point of contact for our patients. Together they work to support the aims of the practice. The receptionists’ and dispensers’ roles facilitate the care the practice provides. Please make use of them and discuss with them any difficulties or needs that you have. We anticipate that you will find them friendly, courteous and understanding. The team comprises Alison Murray, Heather Hoyle, Pattie Nicol, Judith Seeger and Suzanne Simpson
