Level 3 Certificate- Practical Dental Reception Skills
The skills and aptitudes of the reception team are hugely influential to reaping the benefits of excellent customer care, showcasing the clinical excellence of the practitioners and building your patient list. The right receptionist, with the right skills and approach will ensure the smooth running of the practice- converting enquires into new patients and more importantly guarantee an all important excellent patient experience. Patients judge the quality of their dental care on that aspect of their dental experiences they understand best - such as how they are welcomed, whether treatment delivery is streamlined and whether the promises made to them are kept.
The right person on the front desk will effortlessly deliver excellent, caring and proficient patient administration services.
