In addition we can run two training sessions in one day (suggested timings of 9.30 am to 12.30 pm and 1.30 pm to 4.30 pm) to ensure the GP practice/medical centre is able to organise cover arrangements and gain extra value for money. We’re are flexible to the space available using either patient waiting area when your practice is closed for the afternoon or a designated meeting room in your practice. For the best experience we recommend no more than 12 people in any given session unless you have spacious meeting room/waiting area. We will provide all the necessary equipment including laptop and projector as well training materials and stationery – in most cases we tend not to use slides to encourage even more interactive discussions.

Reallly happy with the course makes you realise just how valuable patients are to the practice
A very enjoyable and informative session – good for team building in the Medical Centre as all areas took part
It was good to discuss actual instances with colleagues – helped to relate what we were learning
I liked the psychology behind what the trainer was saying
Felt the balance was right – informative and enjoyable
Well presented, clear slides and useful handouts
The course was made far more interesting because we discussed issues rather than looked at slides for three hours – surprising, the time passed by quite quickly!

I have found it all very helpful – thank you
Relaxed atmosphere with plenty of positive ideas to action
Thank you for your excellent delivery of the Customer Care course for our practice staff. It was well received and the feedback forms reflect this. I have followed up the training with four mini meetings with the staff and with their input have worked out an action plan of the areas we can do to improve customer care. They are all SMART! I feel this is an excellent outcome which can be carried through. The Partners were very happy with the course and are amenable to me booking a further follow up course – Practice Manager in Surrey.
The trainer had a lovely manner, put you at ease straight away, made you feel comfortable to take information in.
It was nice to have GP’s and management taking part to appreciate the problems staff have to deal with – thank you
