Advanced Communication Skills Training

Advanced Communication Skills Training

Description

Why are Communication Skills Important?

Being able to communicate effectively is a core clinical skill for all professionals who have regular patient contact and, as part of that role, are required to gather or give information, break bad news or support patients to make and understand decisions related to their care and treatment.

The link between effective communication skills and the delivery of high-quality care as well as staff resilience has been highlighted in both the research literature and a number of successive national reports.

This two-day evidence-based course has been developed by a group of leading communication researchers and trainers and is aimed at doctors, nurses and senior healthcare professionals (band 6 & above) wishing to enhance their clinical communication skills with patients, carers, or colleagues.

Participants set the agenda for both days by identifying challenging communication situations they experience at work. These challenges are recreated with actors playing different roles such as a patient, family member or colleague for participants to practice key skills and principles, receive constructive feedback and test out alternative strategies.

In previous courses key areas of challenge have included:

  • Managing anger or distress
  • Breaking Bad News
  • Handling difficult questions
  • Improving communication with colleagues
  • Dealing with complaints

Networking at a Professional Development Day

Independent Prescribing Professional Development Day

Description

New and experienced practitioners can find it challenging to maintain their confidence and competence to prescribe, even within their own specialisms.  This professional development day has been designed for both current and aspiring prescribers to support you with your CPD.     

We are all aware of the distress that an unplanned admission, to hospital or a care home, can be for individuals and their families.  Those who experience health, social and/or economic inequalities have an increased risk of preventable admissions, which can be expensive for the health and care system. 

When looking at the NHS Long Term Plan we know a person-centred approach, with integrated care and support can successfully improve people’s health and wellbeing and reduce the need for unplanned hospital admissions and long-term residential care.  This informs the overarching theme for this CPD day “keeping well at home”.
