Dental Receptionist Programme (DRP)
DRP has now been updated using modern learning styles to encourage reflective study. The programme is the start of an ongoing programme of structured learning for all dental receptionists, irrespective of their experience.The programme offered by Learn-Kit Ltd is a distance learning programme, which allows receptionists to work at their own pace and at a time convenient to themselves and the practice. Each learner requires their own set of material so that they can work through the programme at their own pace with the support of a work based mentor.
The DRP programme promotes confidence and a sense of responsibility so that receptionists can play a full part in the team. It helps to create a friendly, efficient environment for patients and makes staff aware of the dentist's professional ethics and responsibilities for patient care, it also shows how the principles of creative service and marketing opportunity can benefit the practice.
