Weekend Advanced Clinical Communication Skills Workshop

Are you ready to break the barrier of a typical doctor? Do you see yourself as a world leading clinical stalwart? You need the edge. Simply completing MBBS and postgraduate studies will certainly provide you with essential knowledge, but will not prepare you for the real challenges of practice that nobody teaches in medical school. You will not learn how to fly high, and your curricular knowledge will never make you unique and help you excel and stand out among the rest. If you want a bright and colourful career, have a taste of truly global high end education, you need extra support. The Clinical Communication Skills Workshops are the perfect solution for those who want a highly successful clinical career. This package is available to those who think high and aim high, for whom sky is truly the limit.

• Communication is the main area of failure for postgraduate clinical exams especially for non-British graduates
• This is due to lack of specific skills in clinical communication in a stressful situation
• BUT Exam courses cannot address all possible clinical scenarios- be it for PLAB, PACES or Indian postgraduate finals
• Breakdown in doctor-patient relationship also originates from poor clinical communication
• We follow a structured pathway of teaching the skill, that is evidence-based and time-tested
• Our teaching methods have helped hundreds achieve their career goals by overcoming psychological barriers in the exam setting as well as in real-life challenging clinical situation
