Introduction to medical terminology

08/01/25

​13:15-15:30​

Location: Online 

The medical profession has a language of its own and if you are new to healthcare, you will soon realise you will need to speak that language.

This online workshop delivered via Teams is aimed at reception and admin staff to enable them to grow in confidence when handling medical correspondence or patients notes.

The session will look at the importance of non-clinical staff learning medical terminology. It will focus on three basic word parts: suffixes, prefixes and word roots, and how these parts can join to form a medical word.

Once you get the hang of how words are made you will have no problem of understanding what those long and often unpronounceable words mean.

There will be a short, fun interactive quiz at the end of the session to identify if learning objectives have been reached.
