Overview

When entering any medical clinic, we may think that the first person whom we see is a doctor or a nurse. However, in most cases, you are probably going to see a medical receptionist first. These receptionists are important, as they are responsible for scheduling appointments, retrieving patient records and many other behind-the-scenes duties. People who choose to become medical receptionists often benefit by gaining experience in a medical setting, gaining insight into the medical field and being able to help doctors and patients. While the role may not offer the pay of a doctor or nurse, medical receptionists are crucial to enable medical facilities to run efficiently.

This course will go into detail on what a medical receptionist is and what they do. Firstly, we discuss a few qualifications that can help you learn the necessary skills that are required of medical receptionists. Next, we discuss the desired personal characteristics, skills and benefits of becoming a medical receptionist. Finally, we provide you with a few steps to help get you started, and a few words of advice and tips.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
