We also offer sessions to those requiring an overview of medical terminology to support applications to study medicine, veterinary medicine or dentistry.We can train between 1-30 learners from any organisation. If you have a specific training request, please speak to us and we can accommodate your needs. We recently trained a group of sign language interpreters who found the training invaluable when working in medical environments.The sessions are delivered via Teams (2x 2 hour meetings) so are highly accessible, a webcam and microphone are required although not essential.The aim of the course is for learners to develop an understanding of medical terminology in an enjoyable, interactive and informative way so that they are better able to decipher and unravel the mystery of long medical words.The course covers the following topics:-


Basics of medical terminology – word building
Common Roots, prefixes and suffixes
Anatomy and physiology via a virtual tour of the body
Major bones of the body
Prescription writing and abbreviations
Classification of drugs
Common Abbreviations
Instruments and investigations
Medical Specialities and personnel
Blood tests
At the end of the course students will have a clear understanding of medical terminology and are encouraged to use their newly learned skills in a series of quizzes and interactive games.

All attendees are given a Certificate of Attendance and a comprehensive handout.

Many people who attend these courses are keen to develop their skills further and may wish to proceed to the Level Two Intermediate Award in Medical Terminology.
