- Commercial skills: account management and developing/drafting accounts for the business.
- IT Excel programming skills – developing a spreadsheet in order to demonstrate the accounts for the surgery on a monthly basis for over a year.
- Communication skills: understanding confidentiality and concerns, engaging with patients through various communication channels, calming nervous patients (telephone, face to face, as a nurse, and as a receptionist).
- Face-to-face client/patient management skills: booking appointments, managing payments, answering telephone calls.
- Technical dental nursing skills such as cleaning and sterilizing instruments, and an understanding of the need to ensure a hygienic environment for patients.
- An understanding of how other healthcare professionals work with dentists (including pharmacists), thereby gaining an understanding of the requirements placed upon community pharmacists in order to provide a rounded and patient-focused healthcare service.
