Accomplishments
A good reputation and very good rapport built with patients of APC with a high return of patients requesting to rebook with me specifically.
Also a positive rapport with our reception, nursing and medical team within the clinic, which helps ensures smooth running within the clinic. I feel I'm a trusted member of the local community and privileged to be in this position and wish to keep up my high standards of care.
I especially enjoy upskilling my 'nerdy' knowledge on Immunisations. I am currently doing a vaccinology course.
