Roadmap to care -Unlocking the potential of effective signposting for front-line staff
March 20 @ 9:30 am - 1:00 pm
£80Aim
The Primary Care Receptionist role has continued to develop over many years into more than just booking appointments for patients. With appropriate training and support non-clinical staff can facilitate the patient journey more effectively. Receptionists can ensure the patient is seen by the most appropriate professional in the Practice; or by using a directory of services for their locality, signposting to other services within the NHS or third party Providers.
Who should attend the workshop
Reception staff and other front-line staff who regularly interact with patients
