Synopsis

Essential guide to better communication in practice

Communication is a core skill for all healthcare professionals, regardless of their specific discipline. The fifth edition of Communication: Core Interpersonal Skills for Healthcare Professionals provides a comprehensive introduction that will be invaluable for students undertaking any training program in health.

The book guides students toward an understanding of all the basic communication techniques and skills they will need in practice. They will learn to develop self-awareness about the impact their words and actions might have on others, use a person-centred model to reconstruct their communication style and approach, and then apply their new knowledge and skills to real-life scenarios.

Easy to read and logically ordered over four sections, this book will guide students towards developing lifelong communication skills that will ultimately enable optimal person-centred care, successful therapeutic relationships and positive patient outcomes.
