Frequently asked questions
Do AfC allowances apply?
Only if you are on AfC. Practice-employed staff should confirm local allowances with their employer.
Are the results gross or net? Do you store my data?

We only collect your name and email if you choose to give them, for example to download your results or sign up for email updates.

About this role
What is a GP Receptionist?

Typical demands, progression and balance
Reception roles are central to patient access and practice flow. Pay varies widely by practice.
