Medical Terminology
We are now offering some courses online via video conferencing software, please click here if you'd like to view dates and book.
By the end of this workshop, your staff will have a good understanding of the principal terminology that they will come across in their day to day work. The detail is based upon actual feedback from receptionists and managers (general practice and non-clinicians) as to the terminology they see, and does not give details which are unlikely to be used.
We feel that a working knowledge of terminology is essential to all staff members, but in particular to those involved in coding, summarising and secretarial work.

The trainer kept going into too much detail which made it confusing and hard to follow. Also some irrelevant information which is just confusing and unnecessary - (HS)
Material was interesting but maybe lasted too long to stay engaged throughout. - (LS)
Enjoyed - (EH)
I would recommend this course to everyone who is new to working in a GP environment and would like a bit more knowledge. I think it is very useful and has built my knowledge, as well as creating a team building exercise.
