You do NOT have to tell the Receptionist why you need to see the doctor.
If you need to fit in around school times then we will do our best. If you think you need emergency contraception (the "morning after" pill), you can simply contact the surgery and ask to speak to the duty doctor, who will ring you back. You DON'T have to explain why to the receptionist. If it is a weekend, contact your local pharmacy as some pharmacies also provide this service.
