Medical Terminology
The medical profession is one of the most rewarding industries to work in – it is also very unique. Comprising 15 comprehensive and interactive lessons, this course has been developed to help you get under the skin of commonly used medical terminology across a wide range of disciplines including biology, cardiology, psychology and many more.
You will be guided through each speciality step-by-step and learn how seemingly complicated medical jargon is built up from word roots, prefixes and suffixes, so this language becomes second nature to you.

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. Great for medical secretaries, ward clerks, medical receptionists, medical summarisers, or medical admin assistants and many more roles.
Learn some tricks in this short training course of how to get Microsoft Word to work properly for you and your medical documents will never look the same again.
