Dealing with Challenging Interpersonal Dynamics: Making Reception Safe and Sane within Medical Practices

Skills and Tools to Successfully Deal with Challenging People for Practice Receptionists

90 minute Online Workshop,  Tuesday 6 October 2020, 7pm - 8.30pm

This Online workshop is presented in partnership with
The Goodfellow Unit


Practice receptionists serve a far broader mix of people and personalities then almost any other profession. And by far, most of our community members are pleasant, cooperative, and appreciative of our services.

A certain percentage, however, display behaviours which can be brought on from worry, fear, anger, denial, or anxiety – creating a difficult situation for all concerned. To successfully manage these uncomfortable and often unsafe situations, front line staff need special skills, and focused management strategies – if we are to interact with service users effectively and keep our workplace a safe for us to be and to feel good about.

The workshop’s focus on real medical practice work dynamics, and its unique, hands on – what to do – training emphasis goes to the heart of addressing a topic that concerns every reception staff member.

Content

This unique 90-minute webinar provides training in developing the actual verbal, emotional and physical interpersonal skills we need to turn conflict into cooperation, and successfully deal with the most challenging types of people. In addition, we will explore how to create a happy, productive, efficient, and non-turbulent workplace, by improving our ability to set appropriate boundaries.
