Receptionist
The
people behind the reception desk are usually your first point of contact and will
try in every way to help you. The more information you are able to give them,
the better they will be able to help you. You may sometimes be kept waiting because
they are dealing with several other problems at the same time. Please be patient.
Our receptionists are trained and
bound by the same rules of confidentiality as the doctors and nurses.
