Reception Pod

The Reception Pod is a required item for Reception to function. Serving the same function as a Reception desk, it allows one Assistant to check in patients and other visitors.

Appearance
A Reception Pod consists of an office chair with metal frame and blue back, seat and arm rests. To the left (facing outwards) is a beige phone with a green handset, and to the right is an all-in-one computer with a wireless keyboard.

Function
For every Reception Pod contained in a Reception Room, one Assistant can serve to check in patients, as though they were sitting at a Reception desk. From here the Assistant staffing the Pod will direct the patient to their first diagnosis room (generally the GP's Office). If there are multiple Reception desks, and/or Pods, and enough assistants to staff them, then patients will be divided between them all automatically. Unlike rooms, the queues cannot be manually manipulated by the player.

Staff
An will be required to run the Reception, and by extension the Reception Pod.
