Open reception definition

Open reception means that patients are able to come into the practice building and deal with a receptionist in person, for example to gain access to a clinician for urgent or emergency care or assessment, to pick up a prescription or make or cancel an appointment. It does not mean that a surgery or clinic has to be running at that time however; patients who present in person in need of emergency care should expect to be able to access appropriate care through self presentation.
