    I offer assistance in medical practices when the full time receptionist / secretary goes on leave, sick leave / maternity leave or is inundated with work and just need a pair of extra hands. I have been working for doctors and hospitals since 2005. As I have worked in hospitals, I have versatile skills as I know and understand how hospital wards are run, how the various departments such as admin, billings and admissions work. This helped me many times with my work in medical practices. I learn quickly and manage to find my way rather easily on medical computer programs. I know Med-e-Mass and Med-edi particularly well, but worked on numerous other programs as well. I can do reception as well as accounts. I have no problem arranging theatre, phoning medical aids for authorization, do follow ups regarding outstanding bills and account queries. You can leave your doctor and reception in my safe and capable hands.

    I love photography and although I've been taking photo's for many years, I've never really 'done' anything with it. So, now I take photo's at private social events and weddings. I want to expand this business and become a professional photographer.
