D&TA Introduction to Reception Skills
Today, more than ever before it is vital to the success of dental businesses to have an extensive skills mix within their teams. This fact has led many dental employers to recruit for non-clinical roles from other sectors and bring new skills mixes into their teams and use a Fast Track Welcome to Reception Skills – to provide their non-dental recruits with background information about the contribution of the receptionist to the dental team.
Before the first session, participants are required to complete a pre-course learning needs and objective setting exercise. These are downloaded from the on-line course materials.
The intention of the course is to provide a means by which participants can become a valued member of an inclusive team incorporating skills from other work sectors to benefit the practice.
