Emma welcomes Mrs Brown
Emma is a trainee care assistant in a UK outpatient clinic. Mrs Brown arrives for a check-up and looks a little worried. Emma smiles and says, “Good morning, Mrs Brown. How are you feeling today?” She checks that Mrs Brown is ready for her appointment.
Mrs Brown is carrying a bag, so Emma offers practical help: “Would you like some help with your bag?” Mrs Brown answers, “Yes, please.” She then asks, “Could I bring my bag?” Emma replies, “Of course. Please follow me,” and guides her to the examination room.
Mrs Brown feels reassured because Emma is calm, polite and professional.
