PATIENT CONCIERGE
Our patient concierge is the first person who will receive visiting patients when they arrive at our clinic and the warmth, kindness and sincerity of the initial welcome will likely set the tone for their entire visit. As a company, it’s very important to us at (med)24 that our patients are met by an attentive, helpful and charming member of our team who is able to quickly assess how urgent and serious their needs are, and react accordingly. Highly regarded by both our team and visiting guests as someone they can trust and talk to in confidence, our concierge is the soul of discretion, and by being deeply compassionate and reassuring, puts everyone they encounter at ease almost immediately.
The concierge will always be impeccably presented and professional when communicating with the team members and when attending to patients. We pride ourselves on the personalised service we provide to our patients and expect our concierge staff to become acquainted with patients who visit the clinic regularly.
