​Excellent quality care starts with the reception team and ends with the reception team. Therefore, you need to lose the idea that you are “just the receptionist”!  Truth be known, you are also in charge of the PR and Marketing Team.

Targeted at experienced medical reception and administrative staff within general practice.This session will cover six key areas associated with the delivery of quality care and service within a medical practice. Excellent quality care is not just about the “clinical consult with the GP” but the total experience.

  • So How did I Handle That One? - Exceeding Expectations with Great Customer Service & Effective Triage Decisions
  •  Accreditation 101: What is it and What is my Role? 
  •  Effective Triage – Including Difficult Patients / Situations
