Teaching communication in the clinical workplace

This workshop will help staff in teaching or supervision roles to develop their skills and confidence, to teach communication in the clinical workplace.

Clinicians who teach or supervise staff should attend to:

• Understand the evidence-based frameworks and models for teaching effective and efficient communication in health care, and how to personalise this for your own clinical area
• Develop and use ‘communication language’ to identify the skills and cues of learners and maximise experiential learning in the workplace
• Understand how providing meaningful feedback is essential for reflective practice and learner-led opportunities for developing their skills in communication in healthcare.
