As a medical or dental receptionist you would often be involved in organising appointments and taking payments for treatments. In smaller companies, or where the reception area is less busy, you could carry out a wider range of tasks, such as: answering switchboard enquiries responding to emails booking transport and travel basic clerical work handling cash simple bookkeeping.
