Our team’s main objective is to provide excellent, high quality patient care and services. Our staff help patients with enquiries and any problems that they have, from booking appointments, ordering medication to arranging emergency ambulances. In the course of their work, to assist the clinical team, our staff have been instructed to ask our patients for more information regarding their health.
