The MDU 2009 Communication Skills for Doctors Workshops
Good communication skills are essential for maintaining a high standard of patient care and the success of many doctor-patient relationships depends on our ability to communicate effectively.
MDU data shows that miscommunication is a feature in a large proportion of clinical negligence cases; communication skills training is therefore a key preventive measure in reducing the risk of litigation in medical practice.
The MDU Communication Skills for Doctors Workshops explore alternative and practical ways of thinking about communication with patients and colleagues. The workshops are fully interactive and feature small group role-play sessions.
