at Beechwood or Alway Surgery
They will undertake the booking of appointments, handle repeat prescription requests and will do their utmost to attend to your queries. On occasions they may ask you to provide additional information in order for them to process your task in the most efficient manner. They all respect your privacy and are bound by the same rules of confidentiality as the doctors and nurses; so they may need to enquire if you have the appropriate written authority to be able to discuss details about a third party. They may also be able to furnish you with specific test results and reports if authorised by your doctor. However please bear in mind that most tests take at least 1 week to return from the laboratories (more complicated investigations, take longer), whilst hospital reports and out-patient letters frequently take in excess of 3 weeks to arrive at the surgery.Practice Secretaries
