Over 700 people have already taken part, and the insights are fascinating — but we’d love to hear from even more of you!

🎥 The Call I Just Took – A powerful reminder of the vital role receptionists play in healthcare.
Receptionists are not “just admin.” They are patient advocates, system navigators, and the first point of contact for those seeking care.
This short video from IGPM beautifully captures the complexity, compassion, and professionalism behind every call taken.
💬 Whether it's calming a worried patient, coordinating urgent appointments, or juggling multiple tasks with grace — receptionists are the unsung heroes of general practice.

👉 Watch the video and share it to show your appreciation for the incredible work they do every single day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrlETspRMlA

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 cli...

🧒 Protect your child. 👵 Protect your family. 💙 Protect Cornwall.

Flu isn’t just a sniffle – it can lead to serious illness, especially in young children. Kids are known as "super spreaders" – they catch and pass on flu easily, often bringing it home to grandparents or younger siblings.

🛡️ The good news? The NHS flu vaccine is free, quick and needle-free (just a nasal spray!)
✅ For 2 & 3 year olds – book with their GP surgery
✅ For school-aged children – return the school consent form ASAP
