Description
Medical offices require a lot of admin. Getting to grips with the finer workings of Microsoft Word means you can create professional looking documents and reports quickly and easily, saving you hours of wasted time trying to format files that won’t behave.
In this course you’ll look at how to:
• Create a number of different documents including letters, reports and notices
• Amend existing documents and proofread with the inbuilt tools
• Format text and tables for a more professional looking finish
• Arrange and re-order data in different types of documents and formats
• Use headers and footers for document consistency
• Insert pictures into documents
Here is what you’ll cover throughout the three lessons in this course:
Lesson One: Including: using document templates; writing letters, reports and notices; proofreading; margins, spacing and indenting; formatting a table; moving and deleting text.
Lesson Two: Including: amending an existing document; recognising proofreading symbols; inserting and changing a file; word counts; formatting text; rearranging and sorting data in different types of document and in different formats; portrait and landscape orientations; headers and footers; inserting an automatic file name
and path; numbering pages.
Lesson Three: Including: routing; inserting autotext; numbering continuation sheets; inserting and adjusting a picture; aligning decimals in a table; finding and replacing text in a document; applying text wrapping; reordering data in a table; sorting
information into alphabetical order.
Who is this course for?
Great for anyone wanting to work as medical secretaries, ward clerks, medical receptionists, medical summarisers or medical admin assistants and many more roles.
Whether applying for a job or honing your skills to impress employers or colleagues, this short course helps you look the part.
Requirements
Some basic knowledge of Microsoft Word would be an advantage but not essential.
Career path

If you’re working in a private GP practice, you could push towards the role of Practice Manager. Alternatively, if you gain work in the NHS, you could work through the system to become Administration Manager.
