Admin & Reception staff: Enhancing Patient Interaction and Communication Skills for Primary Care Staff (3 hours)
2024-06-26 13:30 - 16:30 | Online Session, United Kingdom
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
Overview: This session has been designed to equip front-line staff and healthcare professionals in General Practice with the skills and confidence necessary to provide exceptional customer service, navigate disputes, and effectively manage challenging conflict situations within practice environments.
Throughout the workshop, we will delve into the dynamics of patient-staff interactions, considering how and why conflicts may arise between staff members, patients, or their caregivers. Our primary goal is to provide delegates with practical strategies to address these challenges, enhance their communication skills, and foster a harmonious practice environment.
This workshop is highly interactive, encouraging participants to actively engage with the content. Delegates will have the opportunity to share their own experiences, challenges, and conflicts that they have encountered in their role. Our facilitator, who brings extensive experience from working on the frontline, will also contribute valuable insights to enrich the learning experience.
By the end of the workshop, delegates will be able to:

Understand the significance of attentive listening, timely responses, and appropriate action when handling complaints.
Gain clarity about the NHS Complaints Process and your responsibilities within it.
Identify common areas of complaints in practice settings and learn strategies to address them proactively.
Define and uphold standards that ensure the delivery of high-quality services and prevent complaints.
Elevate customer care skills through assertive communication techniques.
Manage difficult conversations effectively and prevent their escalation.

Admin & Reception staff: Document Management to improve efficiency (2 hours)
2024-06-26 14:00 - 16:00 | Online Session, United Kingdom
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
Overview: This 2-hour training, delivered virtually, aims to help administrators streamline the documents to appropriate team members in a timely manner. Additionally, a large number of documents are being sent electronically to the workflow emails of the practices, so admin teams need to be able to interrogate these with a degree of confidence.
NOTE training will only be relevant for practices on the EMIS system.
GP surgeries regularly receive 10s of documents daily with the larger surgeries receiving 100 or more on a daily basis. These include letters from hospitals, results of investigations or correspondence from other agencies. In most practices, GPs spend several hours a day reading these documents and taking appropriate action. This forms a bulk administration time that is spent away from frontline patient care. Often, the majority of the documents do have clinical information and need a clinician to interpret and action. However, evidence shows with appropriate training and good practice 30-40% of the documents that could be read and coded by the reception team
Training Provider: Bromley By Health Partnership
