Medical Word Processing
Course Outline
Medical offices require a lot of admin. Getting to grips with the finer workings of Microsoft Word means you can create professional looking documents and reports quickly and easily, saving you hours of wasted time trying to format files that won’t behave.
• Create a number of different documents including letters, reports and notices
• Amend existing documents and proofread with the inbuilt tools
• Format text and tables for a more professional looking finish
• Arrange and re-order data in different types of documents and formats
• Use headers and footers for document consistency
• Insert pictures into documents
At the end of this course, you will also then have the opportunity to go on and gain a Level 2 qualification.
This course will help you learn some tricks of how to get Microsoft Word to work properly for you and your medical documents will never look the same again.
