Medical Secretary Training Course
Fast-track training for private medical secretaries
So, you may or may not have completed Pitman training, AMSPAR, Sage, medical secretary diplomas, touch-typing, audio typing, shorthand, or medical terminology courses. You may have experience working in the NHS but find it difficult to transition into the private sector due to a lack of experience. Sound familiar? While these courses can be helpful, they are not essential and I have heard this same issue many times, which is why I created this Medical Secretary Training Course—to provide practical training that other courses do not typically include.
This course will equip you with the tools, insights, and preparation to help you feel more confident when finding work as a private medical secretary. You’ll gain real-world knowledge, skills, guidance, and a clear understanding of what’s required in private practice.
With over 20 years experience a private medical secretary, I have worked with many systems, hospitals and consultants throughout this time and I hope to share my knowledge with you.
