Information:

The call I just took

Receptionists are not ‘just admin’ — they are patient advocates, navigating complex systems to get people the care they need. They are the gateway to the clinical team, and without them, there is no access.

But constant abuse is pushing them to breaking point. Burnout is rising, and we are losing skilled staff who can no longer absorb the emotional toll. This campaign is a call for compassion — because protecting our reception teams protects access to care. You don't know what happened on the call they just took..

With thanks to β€ͺ@pvs_media‬

Respect NHS Derbyshire

Our staff are trying to give you the best quality care. Abusive behaviour will only reduce the quality of care you receive, please think before you speak to staff. Our staff have the right to refuse your care if you are abusive towards them.

Abuse means shouting, swearing, homophobic or racist language & nasty comments.

If you think we can improve the way the practice operates, please ask to discuss your comments with the practice manager. They can try to resolve your issue, or improve to give you the best care possible.
