If you are a Medical Secretary/Receptionist working in General Practice or other Healthcare Practice, I know that you often pick up the phone before your first coffee ☕.

You juggle patients, appointments, and a million moving parts.
You hold it all together — often without much backup.

💬 But what if there was a place built just for you?
Where you could connect with others who truly understand the pressures of the role.
Where you felt recognised, supported, and part of something bigger.
That’s what’s coming.
And we can't wait to show you.
🗓️ Launch day is very soon!!

Something new is coming to General Practice...

And this time, it’s just for the people who work on the frontline — the Medical Receptionists and Secretaries who keep practices running every day.
For too long, this role has carried huge responsibility, rising patient demand, and ever-growing complexity… with very little recognition or tailored support.
That’s about to change.
We can’t reveal too much just yet 🤫
But we can say this:
- It’s never been done before
- It’s been built from the ground up — with this role at the centre
- It’s about standards, peer support, and a shared sense of pride in the work
