Pros

You gain skills like communication when on the front desk.

Cons

No one wants to take the liability in NHS, throwing their responsibility or work onto others. The pay is really bad in NHS, you could be doing 20 different tasks everyday e.g referral, dealing with patient and hospital queries, dealing with prescriptions, scanning, booking patients in, going to meetings, training, long waiting hours for patient due to lack of doctors and then patients getting angry on frontline receptionist because they have been waiting for hours, just to find out the answer to nothing etc no matter how well you do, the pay will never go up. Lack of Nurses and doctors. sorry to say this but NHS has really become more of a business than a health care organisation. Such a shame.
