A detailed course for healthcare professionals to improve their communication skills in end of life care
About this Event

EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT APPLIES UNTIL 04/01/2026

"The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place"

When practiced effectively, good communication enables healthcare professionals to really uncover patient concerns improving not only clinical outcomes but also enhancing the overall quality of life for patients and their families, profoundly influencing the course of their care.

Learning outcomes for this session will be:

  • To identify barriers to communication
  • To understand core facilitative skills
  • To explore skills and techniques to support safe practice in a variety of healthcare situations using verbal and non-verbal communication to overcome barriers

Certification of attendance will be provided.

Our aim is that this session is an introduction to improve your communication skills however we recommend experienced registered healthcare professionals attend the Advanced Communication two day training which can be found on our events page.

If paying for this session at the point of booking is an issue, please contact us via [email protected]
