any medical secretaries out there, although your probabley all at work!

[livvysmum]

can any one suggest a good medical secretarial course, i've looked at a few on line, but just wondered if anyone had personal experience of part time/correspondance/online courses and which would be the best.
thanks!

No, don't know any but didn't know you could do specific medical ones. My MIL is a secretary in the MHRA (formerly Medicines Control Agency) and she doesn't have a medical training at all (mind you, she's often asking me what words are!!)

AMSPAR are the association. But I'd say, if you have good secretarial skills, just sign up with NHS Professionals (it's a terrible procedure but prob worth it in the end) and then you'll get temp bookings at your local hospital and then you'll be experienced and Bob's your uncle. I'm working as a medical secretary and the main thing you need is Google

thanks you too,lol at your MIL GDG, thanks for link AB, love the name.

have just registered with the nhs sit, thanks again for info

I was going to say that an AMSPAR certicate is often quoted as being an ideal requirement, but a CLAIT or similar WP/IT/basic admin skills qualification should suffice. Experience will often go far in your favour.
