With over 13 years' experience, Aesthetic Response is the sectors leading provider of call handling and lead management services and was the first to offer dedicated aesthetic clinic support.


In an era where the aesthetic industry is becoming increasingly competitive, with client expectations higher than ever, and appointment booking more involved, the role of the receptionist in an aesthetic clinic has become increasingly key to the clinic’s success.

Recognising the need for well-trained professionals to manage the front desk efficiently, we’ve taken our 13 years of experience supporting aesthetic clinics across the UK with calls, enquiries and appointment booking, along with our learnings, training techniques and understanding of the sector, to develop this course. This is a comprehensive and innovative initiative, aiming to equip front-of-house staff with the foundational skills and knowledge needed to excel in their role, ultimately enhancing the overall client/patient experience.

The Rise of Aesthetic Clinics: Aesthetic clinics have witnessed unprecedented growth in recent years, driven by advancements in procedures and an increasing focus on personal appearance and well-being. As clinics strive to provide top-notch services, the role of receptionists has evolved beyond merely answering phones and scheduling appointments. A well-trained receptionist serves as the face of the clinic, contributing significantly to the overall client experience.

The Need for Focused Training: Traditional receptionist training often falls short when it comes to the specific demands of aesthetic clinics. The nuances of handling client enquiries related to a wide variety of procedures, understanding aesthetic terminology, navigating systems and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations require several skills. Recognising this gap, the new online training course aims to equip receptionists with the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in the aesthetic sector.

Key Features of the Training Course: A Comprehensive Curriculum: The course covers a wide range of topics, including an introduction to the aesthetics sector, communication skills, and an understanding of GDPR and appointment management. It ensures that receptionists are well-versed in the unique aspects of aesthetic clinic operations and prosperity.

Interactive Learning Modules: Utilising e-learning technology, the course incorporates videos, quizzes and downloadable support material to engage learners effectively. Real-life learning and experiences are integrated to provide practical insights into the challenges faced by receptionists in aesthetic clinics.

Industry Experts as Instructors: The course has been developed by experts in call and enquiry management in the aesthetic industry. This wealth of knowledge and experience ensures that participants receive up-to-date and relevant information.

Flexibility and Accessibility: Understanding the demands of a receptionist's schedule, the online course is designed to be flexible, allowing participants to learn at their own pace. The content is accessible from any device with an internet connection, facilitating learning from the comfort of both home and in the workplace.

The Potential Impact: Aesthetic clinics that invest in the training for their receptionists can anticipate improved client satisfaction, increased bookings, streamlined operations, and enhanced professionalism.

By elevating the standards of receptionist training, the course not only benefits individual professionals but contributes to the overall reputation and success of aesthetic clinics. In an industry where first impressions matter greatly, a well-trained receptionist can make a lasting positive impact on clients and contribute to the clinic's growth and success.

The launch of this new course is another step in the evolution of the aesthetic industry. As clinics strive to differentiate themselves and provide unparalleled client experiences, investing in the training and development of front desk staff is a strategic move that promises long-term benefits. This course not only addresses the current gaps in receptionist education but also sets a new standard for excellence in customer service within the aesthetic field.
