~ PPM Software’s 2011 conference to be held in Bolton on March 19 ~
PPM Software and the BSMSA (British Society of Medical Secretaries and Administrators) will be co-hosting the second, annual, ‘Establishing and Developing your Private Practice’ conference at Bolton’s Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa on March 19, 2011. The theme of the conference will be developing the relationship between the consultant and secretary, a focus that will be supported by a faculty of speakers from across private practice.
The day will be packed with interesting, insightful and practical workshops and seminars, guaranteed to both enhance and develop the working relationship between the consultant and the secretary, thereby increasing the financial success of the practice. The faculty will consist of well established private consultants and practice managers and various business service providers.
LiveseySolar Practice Builders, will speak on, and provide practical training to, increase patient numbers and patient loyalty and will also offer pointers for consultants keen to market their practice more effectively.
The faculty also sees the popular return of Ian Tongue from medical accountants Sandison Easson, who will discuss cost effective ways of maximising a secretary’s financial remuneration.
The day will be hosted by Julie McLean of PPM Software, who will run an open forum for the secretaries. In addition there will be a demonstration of PPM Software’s ‘PPM’ - Private Practice Manager software suite, which provides users with complete administrative and financial control over their business.
“Good secretarial support will pay for itself tenfold,” explained Tom Hunt, managing director of PPM Software. “The characteristics of a good secretary are efficiently processed dictation, accurate patient management, an organised theatre list, well organised invoicing and financial management, improved practice promotion and, above all, happy patients. However, Catherine of Alexandria, the patron saint of secretaries, couldn’t achieve this without a good working relationship with the consultant!” joked Hunt. “The attendees at our conference will come away better equipped to improve that relationship and achieve these objectives. We believe this is a conference with a difference; where both the consultant and secretary can be equally inspired and encouraged,” concluded Hunt.
Consultants and their secretaries who want to book a place at the conference should contact Julie McLean via e-mail Julie@ppmsoftware.com.
