Care Navigators / Receptionists
The Receptionists at Riverside Surgery are better known as Care Navigators who are here to help you in complete confidence, whether over the phone or at the reception desk. All members of staff are bound by rules of confidentiality like the Doctors and Nurses. Care Navigators can occupy many roles and play a crucial part in helping people get the right support, at the right time, to help manage a wide range of needs. Our Care Navigators have been given specialist training to help them direct patients to the right health professional first time. This training allows our team of front line staff to provide you with more information about local health and wellbeing services, both within and outside of primary care, in a safe, effective way. It means that you will find it easier to get an appointment with the correct professional when you need one.
