Why should you take part in Advanced Communication Skills Training?
This intensive and interactive training will equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to adapt and build your communication practice and maintain those changes over time.
What specific skills will you transfer into practice?
This advanced level, interactive training, focuses on adapting and developing your communication practice to have a lasting impact, in a professional setting. Its interactive delivery will allow you to:
- Discuss challenges such as breaking bad news, advanced care planning, handling anger or distress, difficult conversations with colleagues.
- Practice key skills and principles, receive constructive feedback and test out alternative strategies.
- Take away communication strategies that can be transferred to any interpersonal or professional context.
I wish I had completed this course earlier in my career. I feel like it has had a huge impact on me personally and professionally. I can't recommend this course enough.
