The practice manager is involved in managing all of the business aspects of the practice such as making sure that the right systems are in place to provide a high quality of patient care, human resources, finance, patient safety, premises and equipment and information technology. The practice manager supports the GPs and other medical professionals with delivering patient services and also helps to develop extended services to enhance patient care.

Claire has been transferred from another medical practice to The Orchard Surgery in March 2019. She has been working as an administrator for sometime now and her current role at the practice involves dealing with new patient registrations, old patient deductions and the movement of medical records between the practice and Primary Care Support England (PCSE). She resolves the queries from PCSE and also helps with copying and filing of the records for medical/solicitor and other insurance reports. She then processes them accordingly.
