DESCRIPTION

A presentation given by Keith Pollard of Treatment Abroad at the Malaysia International Health Travel Exhibition and Conference in Kuala Lumpur in November 2012. In this short presentation, Keith examines two of the key areas for attracting patients to medical tourism web sites, how you can build trust with the web visitor, how it is important to engage the prospective medical tourist in a conversation and the importance of maximising the conversion rate from enquirer to paying patient. The presentation lasts around 15 minutes and has a voiceover. About Intuition Communication Intuition Communication is an online publisher in the healthcare sector that operates market-leading web portals in the UK such as Private Healthcare UK, Surgery Door, and the Harley Street Guide.
