Why consider secretarial or administration support? 

Has your business or practice grown? Are you really starting to feel the bite that administrative work takes out of your time?

First impressions matter. Over your clinical career, you will have perfected your in-person manner to put clients at their ease, welcoming them to your practice, building their trust in you to help them with their problems. Following up on your appointments with necessary correspondence or other administration can eat into your patient-facing time. Deepen the confidence of your clients by sending prompt correspondence produced to a professional standard. A tangible record of your meeting, received soon after their appointment will reassure clients of your discussion, supporting them to make well-informed decisions about their next steps. 

As a private clinician you likely pay a huge sum on medicolegal insurance and could be held liable for larger sums in the event of a successful claim. The timely sending of letters and gaining of consent could be crucial in limiting your liability. When the expense of good medical secretarial support is still much less than potential liability payouts, why would you not consider it?

Administrative tasks are necessary but can feel like a burden that distract from the work you really love. Protect your interests by ensuring tasks are completed with regularity. Keep up to date with filing, emails, data entry and invoices. Make sure you are paid when you want to be paid and your clients avoid the frustration of not knowing when your invoice is going to land!

Free-up your time to do what you do best!

Why consider personal assistant (PA) support?

A Personal Assistant (PA) does not just relieve the burden of an administrative task. They help you manage and balance as many of the commitments in your life as you would like! They are there for you and your interests. When it feels like you are juggling too many balls, your PA is there to catch the surplus and keep your show on the road.

Where your work encompasses multiple organisations, your PA can become the lynchpin that holds your diary together, planning meetings and scheduling appointments that work for you. Your competing interests may each come with a diary but your PA can co-ordinate all into one master diary.

When time is precious, shield it by filtering who can access it and when with your PA acting as gatekeeper. Choose to deal with only the enquiries you absolutely have to. Be certain that events in your diary are concrete engagements rather than vague conversations.

Everyone loves speedy resolution of a problem but take it to the next level with a PA who can anticipate issues and prevent them becoming a problem at all. Facilitate travel with bookings and reservations made for you, factoring in the preferences you would make for yourself.  

In their dealings with your clients and suppliers, a PA can enhance communication on your behalf, nurturing and developing your business relationships.

We live in an increasingly digital world where technology is continuously transforming how we organise and manage our daily lives. With countless tools available, even selecting the right ones can become another demand on your time. A PA not only brings familiarity with essential office software but also stays aware of emerging digital solutions. By leveraging the tools most appropriate to you effectively, they enhance your ability to communicate, collaborate, and operate efficiently.

Think of your PA as a projection of yourself, to act as you and for you in the administrative side of your role.
