OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PRACTICE TEAM Practice Manager Mrs Christine Stacey The practice manager is responsible for the overall strategic management of the practice.

Reception Staff Jackie, Janet, Maureen, June, Joan, Tara and Linda are here to help you and are your link with the rest of the healthcare team. If you have any enquiries our reception staff are here to help you, but please remember they have a difficult job to do with telephone calls and queries coming from every direction. They may ask you one or two questions in relation to your request. They have been asked to do this, but the information you give them will always be treated in confidence as they are bound by the same rules of confidentiality as the doctors and nurses. Their job is very demanding so please be patient.
