Course overview

Enhance your communication skills for a more effective and fulfilling experience

Poor communication damages health outcomes, patient satisfaction, cost-effectiveness and provider wellbeing. It leads to misunderstandings, mistakes and stress, getting in the way of being a happy, focused and effective practitioner, team or organization.

This course addresses the communication challenges of healthcare head on, and provides simple and practical tools that can help.

Expect the unexpected: the program draws attention to aspects of communication that are often overlooked. It might even challenge key parts of your everyday practice.

Our program was designed to foster communication within teams and with customers. Successfully implemented in healthcare settings, especially in the UK, it has proven beneficial for healthcare professionals worldwide.

Join us to unlock the key to improved communication in your healthcare practice.

What people are saying

A highly effective, easy-to-learn toolkit that allows clinicians to work with people in a respectful but highly impactful way. At times this impact is breathtaking. Judy Rees provides expert tuition which allows clinicians to rapidly implement and hone these approaches.

Dr David Lee

I highly recommend the Better Conversations course to anyone wanting to improve their interpersonal and communication abilities. The skills genuinely make a difference if put into consistent practice.

Robert Moreno

Strategic Advisor, BayPLS Mobile Healthcare

Communication is key to everything we do in healthcare. I honestly believe this has improved patient care, and I think it has also improved my conversations with my colleagues. I’ve become a bit evangelical because I think it’s brilliant!

Siobhan Aris

Advanced Palliative Care Nurse

I have to give much credit to our two facilitators for their delivery of this wonderful course. Interesting format too: all virtual, 5 one-hour classes with a sixth bonus class. Hard to tell what was scripted and what was improvised, but a very solid structure and much to consider as I navigate both personal and professional conversations.
