You are at your best when you can help others - exactly what you do as a doctor's assistant. In this versatile and responsible role, you have a lot of personal contact and are much more than just the person who answers the phone. You bring calm when it is busy, keep an overview when there is a lot going on at once and ask exactly the right questions to quickly find out what is needed. You make sure that every patient gets the care he or she needs and you are the person your colleagues can always count on.
The phone rings. You answer, listen attentively and ask just the right questions to quickly find out what is needed. Whether it's making an appointment, giving advice, or a call-back request from the GP: you take care of it. You ensure that consultation hours are filled efficiently and keep all files up-to-date, so that waiting times are limited and your colleagues always have the right information to enter the consultation hour.
Between phone calls, you process repeat prescriptions, referrals and e-consultations. During your own surgery hours, you perform various medical procedures: you measure blood pressure, prick blood, give injections and perform urine tests. You help with vaccinations and assist the GP with minor surgery.
With this mix of administrative and medical tasks, you and your fellow assistants will ensure that the practice runs smoothly every day and patients get the care they need.
