"Unprofessional reception staff"

My family and I have been at this practice for many years. Overall, the doctors and nurses are generally ok. However, the reception staff are almost always rude and have no patience. I have no idea why, but reception staff speak down to patients, they are often condescending and show no empathy. Reading some of the comments, it seems that this is a common recurrence and patients at this practice would be tremendously grateful if reception staff could be nicer, more courteous and treat patients with dignity. We know the NHS is under awful pressures but showing kindness does not take much more time. Please could further training be provided to ensure professionalism is retained with reception staff?
