Customer service and colleague interaction in a healthcare setting has a unique set of challenges specific to providing a first-rate healthcare service and ensuring customer/colleague satisfaction and wellbeing .
Amongst these challenges are such issues as, high volume of calls and emails, and management of people who may be stressed, distressed or in crisis
Furthermore, those staff who work on telephone answering services or through email have the additional challenge of not being able to communicate face to face.
This Excellence in Communication and Customer Service programme enables participants to have an understanding of what makes for a good customer-service/colleague experience, how to deliver excellent service over the telephone and by email, how to support callers who might be stressed or distressed and manage sensitive situations, as well as how to take care of themselves while caring for others
