Hear From a Colleague:

“Working for a 7 surgery practice has its challenging days, it does get quite busy, but I thoroughly enjoy it. I enjoy working here because of the people I work with and the patient rapport I have built over the years. Recently been awarded Employee of the Month – Runner up, which was very unexpected. I am always supported by the Practice Manager and the team, the Practice Manager will always go out of their way to help, no favour is too big or too small. They care deeply about their staff and it shows. I would recommend working here as you build relationships with the staff members, you don't just become a team, you become family.”Emma, Receptionist
