Why this is worth your time

You've never had a real way to get better at this job

There's no recognised path from "competent" to "specialist" in this profession — no training, no structured way to learn the systems consultants already expect you to know. We built the thing that should have existed the whole time.

Core curriculum

11 modules covering the actual job

Not generic admin training — the specific workflows private practice runs on. Each module includes a lesson, flashcards for revision, and a quiz to mark it complete.

01

Diary & clinic-list management

Structuring a consultant's diary across multiple sites, managing clinic lists, and handling the inevitable last-minute changes without losing the day.

02

Dictation-to-letter workflow

Turning consultant dictation into accurate, properly formatted clinic letters — efficiently, and to the standard private practice expects.

03

Records & referrals

Managing patient records and the referral process end to end, including the handoffs between GPs, consultants, and other specialists.

04

Billing & insurer admin

Private billing, self-pay administration, and insurer invoicing — the financial side of the job that's rarely taught properly anywhere.

05

Multi-consultant coordination

Supporting more than one consultant at once without anything falling through the cracks — prioritisation, communication, and the systems to make it sustainable.

Investigations, imaging & results

Managing diagnostic requests, imaging pathways, pathology results, report tracking and consultant review — safely, from request through to follow-up.

07

Theatre, procedures & hospital coordination

Coordinating procedure bookings, theatre lists, pre-assessment and admissions across consultants, hospitals and insurers.

08

Consultant private practice setup & management

How a private practice actually runs — systems, workflows, insurer relationships, financial admin and compliance.

09

Systems, software & digital skills

Patient management systems, electronic records, insurer portals, spreadsheets and the cyber security basics every secretary needs.

10

Patient communication & customer service

Professional phone and email standards, managing expectations, confidentiality, and handling complaints in private healthcare.

11

Advanced skills & career development

Moving from reactive admin into proactive, senior support — prioritisation, leadership, service improvement and a path toward practice management.
