The delivery of excellent customer service is invaluable in various sectors, but none more so than the health and social care sector. Healthcare leaders are increasingly acknowledging healthcare as a customer-focused service in the same way that other service industries are, with good service being directly related to patient satisfaction.
It is vital that those working in the health and social care sector are aware of the impact of customer service and are able to identify the needs of every customer who accesses health and social care services.
This course will equip learners with a detailed understanding of customer service in health and social care, effective communication and team work in health and social care settings and the needs of customers who access health and social care services.
No previous knowledge and experience are required; however, minimum level 1 English skills would be beneficial for completion of assessments.
