Administrative Staff

Administrative staff provide business support to clinical and non-clinical staff. The are usually the first point of contact between the patient and the general practice.

Administration roles include:

  • Receptionist

  • Clerk

  • Medical Secretary/Personal Assistant

  • Health Records Staff

Administration staff have to be well-organised and keep detailed records of patients and staff. Patients and other organisations need to be able to contact the NHS, to see or speak to the right person who can give them the help they need. That could be booking an appointment, getting advice or paying an invoice.
