This will be a communication workshop tailored specifically for difficult conversations in health. We promise it will be unlike any communication training you have experienced before. This workshop will explore who you are as a communicator, active listening, listening as part of assessment and when to talk and when to listen. We will challenge the way you communicate in different situations. There will be a strong focus on remaining empathic and connected to those you are communicating with, teaching you how to attune yourself to individuals and groups to maximise communication outcomes. We will provide you with a framework of how to structure difficult and awkward conversations that will leave you empowered and confident. This workshop has received excellent feedback since 2015. If you really want to practice your communication, consider then going to the “Communication Intensive” workshop in the afternoon. This is an extensive simulation experience where you will experience supportive and individual feedback on your communication style.
