From Reception Burnout to Balance

Receptionists are the heart of every healthcare practice — yet they face endless calls, appointment changes, and emotional labour every day. The pressure builds until burnout feels inevitable.

Missed calls become missed patients.
Overworked receptionists lead to stressed Practice Managers and frustrated doctors.
Patients experience long wait times and inconsistent communication.

Burnout doesn’t just affect staff — it affects every part of the patient journey.
