“Want to improve your practice reputation and NHS Choices ratings?”

COURSE DETAILS

Effective Customer Service

Standing as the front line of the NHS, the quality of customer service in primary care is both under pressure and also under scrutiny. The relationships and interactions between practice staff and patients are the bedrock of a robust and progressive customer service approach and it may surprise you that, with a fairly modest effort, really positive impact can be achieved - improving patient satisfaction, practice reputation and staff morale into the bargain.

This interactive workshop will explore some of the challenges, both situational and behavioural, that confront us every day and explore tools and techniques which you can use to enhance the patient experience (and your own) and drive up the quality of your customer service.

Key Learning Objectives

Understanding the 'difficult patient' and their motivation
Explore a range of options, techniques and tactics for dealing positively with challenging behaviour
How to head them off at the pass - preventing poor situations developing or escalating
Understand how the team can make a positive difference
Develop 5 improvement goals for your practice

This half day workshop will give you a number of positive steps you can take back and implement at your practice to make an immediate difference in the quality of your customer service.
