Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Go Wider Than Reception

Typing and medical words open doors the front desk alone will not.

Type What Doctors Dictate

Records, layout, style and coding are all part of it.

Earn CPD Credits

The course carries CPD credits when you finish.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Medical admin runs behind every surgery, clinic and ward. Some of it is face to face. A good share is typing and filing.

Medical Secretary

Keep a consultant's diary and post moving.

Medical Office Assistant

Hold the paperwork side of a practice together.

Receptionist in Healthcare

Meet patients and manage the book.

Medical Typist

Turn dictation into clean, formatted notes.

Patient Services Officer

Walk people through appointments and forms.

Private Practice Assistant

Run the office of a small consulting room.

Medical Records Clerk

File, retrieve and protect patient records.

Hospital Unit Clerk

Keep a ward's admin running each shift.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every job is different, and some ask for more study or experience.

None needed. All three parts start from scratch.

How much study is it?

About 250 hours, with six months of course access.

None, ever. You send in work instead.

Not for the typing part. That one has no extensions.
