Experience has shown that medical practices require an education model and designed to meet their special needs. The model is based on the understanding that practices cannot afford to slow down in order to catch up - using human resources for training at the precise moment that they need those same resources for the day-to-day administrative functionality. Added with the fact that administrative staff are normally unable to give their full concentration during the working day to a sole task, such as education - we have established training centres, designed to cover basic training. Continuing education is then undertaken in Just In Time Training principals, via a number of avenues.

Continuing Education

We know that in the medical profession, keeping up-to-date with the essential and necessary skills is paramount in ensuring a healthy practice in terms of patient management and cash flow. That is why we have in place a system of continuing education. Experienced users are encouraged to treat the continuing education program as refresher courses to fully utilise the power of our programs. This is especially true of the Workshops and Seminars, where the questions are brought to the forum. All participants can learn from experienced users who have already had their questions addressed. Usually those questions demonstrate to other users how to get the most out of their systems and to make life that little bit easier. Topics include;

• Information technology
• Financial Aspects
• Staffing
• Patients
• Marketing
