, preferably within a specialist or

Are You a Genie Whiz?
When we say
Genie experience is essential, we mean it
.
We are looking for someone who is genuinely confident using Genie as part of the everyday running of a medical practice, not someone who has had occasional or basic exposure.
If you're normally the person everyone asks when they can't work something out in Genie, we want to hear from you.
Who Will Thrive in This Role?
You are the person who
keeps everything together
.
You notice when something hasn't been followed up. You know what's happening in the diary and are able to
prioritise
the essential things first. You anticipate what the doctors and practitioners will need and make sure things don't fall through the cracks.
You'll be organised,
proactive
, approachable and
calm
under pressure, with the confidence to manage your workload independently while working as part of a multidisciplinary team.
Most importantly, you'll take pride in making sure patients receive a professional, caring and well‐organised experience from their first contact with the practice through to follow‐up.
