Dates & Times:

4 & 5 April 2023 @ 08:50 – 16:45

Course Aim & Objectives:

To prepare you to practice communicating with others at an advanced level and to develop ways of handling situations that you find most difficult. These may include, for example, communicating significant news to others, responding to anger or collusion.

  • Recognise the impact of attitudes and beliefs within the education process.
  • Tailor communication to patient needs.
  • Identify relevant communication challenges exploring ways to resolve them.
  • Practice skills in a safe setting.
