For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.JJ, you historically seem to be on a mission about doctors' receptionists. It's obvious that you think they are a bunch of nosey, gossipy people who you really don't like. Did one of them upset you at some time?
I think they are dealing with all the messages that people are able to send to query their medical treatment, ensuring that you get a phone discussion with a GP and making appointments for flu jabs etc.

The receptionists at our surgery couldn’t be more helpful, they’ve recently significantly helped me with a medication I usually take which has become unavailable.
But even before that, they’re a great bunch of ladies, not a grumpy one amongst them. They have a lot to put up with, with rude patients.

The receptionists at my gp are busier than ever as they are tying to sort out paperwork, the phones, sending out letters and emails to the various chemists, I met one of them recently (I live not so far from my gp surgery) and one of that receptionist told me they have never been as busy - if they ever thought they were busy in the past, they have truly been thrown in at the deep end now. I can not and never have found fault with them. Trying to ring the out of hours doctor service at the weekend, now, there was an experience with receptionists I would not like to go through again - I spent €30 phone credit being kept on hold and I think my BP was so raised following it, I felt I was gonna end up in A&E with hypertension
The receptionists in Kettering were good until MrG took ill. Then they were fantastic. Some came to his funeral and I thanked them in the eulogy.
When I moved the receptionists were fine and very helpful.
The one we have now is wonderful. If one of us needs an appointment she says she'll give us the two thirty one so when we see the doctor leaving his house in the next field after his lunch we can follow him down to save us hanging about....
I can only speak for the one here about what they are doing just now but I guess she's as busy and helpful as ever as we have no problem seeing the doctor with a same day appointment if needed.
