About Us

ABOUT US

Melinda studied pre-med as an undergraduate in America, but on returning to the UK and starting a family she turned her laser-sharp mind to medical secretarial work. In the decades that have followed, Melinda has worked in private and NHS hospitals across London and has worked with over 250 specialists. She has established relationships with all of the leading private hospitals in London and understands the working practices of each one.

Her years of experience have taught Melinda that most doctors see administration and accounting as an unwelcome, if necessary, part of their working day, and often postpone till tomorrow the paperwork that is better done today. Encouraged by several consultants, she set up MedicalSec Services Ltd providing bespoke secretarial,  accounting and a full practice management service.

Melinda’s deep insight into the UK’s private medical sector has proved invaluable to her clients as she is able to offer a first-class service with a personal touch. While she has now built a team to ensure both patients and doctors have excellent and timely service, she speaks and meets regularly with each client to establish and maintain a solid and professional relationship. Whether it is speaking to a patient diagnosed with cancer or offering guidance to an overworked doctor, Melinda always makes the time to talk and, more importantly, to listen.

Gareth Parkes

Consultant Gastroenterologist
I have been working with Melinda and her team for three years now and it has completely revolutionised my private practice. She sat down with me and listened to my needs and was able to tailor a service which fitted around my practice and allowed me to be as efficient as possible whilst providing a fantastic service for my patients. I would highly recommend her to any consultant with a private practice.

Consultant Breast & Oncoplastic Surgeon
Melinda, what can I say about her? Two words describes her - Mary Poppins!! 2014 she came into my office when she was filling in for my secretary's leave. She had her Mary Poppins bag with her and the moment she walked in it was magic and I knew she can do anything. She could not work for me then but I always knew If I had to have a secretary she would be the one In 2018 I heard that she has started a company to provide secretarial service and as fate would have had it my permanent secretary left for family reasons. I moved my practice under her company in June 2018.I knew anything she touches is magic. With her experience she has now created an amazing dream team that can provide everything for a private practice in the UK to flourish. Now I do not have to look back or think about my private work. Things happen as she waves her wand.

Professor in Interventional Radiology
I have been lucky enough to work with Melinda and her team for several years now. She is responsible for my whole practice from booking outpatient appointments and navigating various hospital systems to arrange surgeries, to dealing with insurance companies and payments, leaving me to focus on my patients. I don't know where I'd be without her. Melinda has been a great asset in my practice and am lucky to work with her.

Melinda has been my private secretary for 18 months. She is organised, efficient and brilliant with patients. They often comment that she and her team have helped them navigate the complexities of private healthcare with a kind, caring manner. She is exceptionally good at organising me. She keeps on top of patient letters and outstanding results and helps me deliver patient centred care.

Consultant in Infectious Diseases
Melinda is a highly experienced PA with an excellent understanding of my diverse cohort of patients. She is efficient and precise. My patients have reported that she has been very helpful in helping them negotiate all the tests and appointments needed, and I have benefitted hugely from her wisdom and support.

Bobby Prasad

Professor in Gastroenterology
I have worked with Melinda Ziff and her team for over two years. She is kind, very hard-working and extremely diligent. She has a deep understanding of the challenges and nuances of private healthcare and her decades of experience have made her very resourceful especially at times when it matters the most. She always goes the distance, and takes personal pride in the service she offers. When things rarely don’t go to plan, she has strong insight and commitment to rectifying matters thoughtfully and efficiently. I am delighted to be working with her.
