Risk: Training for admin and reception teams

THE MDDUS training & CPD team have worked with a lot of GP practices over the years, advising them on ways to minimise everyday risks.

One thing we’re always keen to emphasise is the importance of training admin and reception teams on topics like complaints handling, communication skills and confidentiality.

In this short video, I offer an insight into how targeted training of these team members can reduce all kinds of risks across the practice.
