Communication


As healthcare settings become ever more complex, effective communication increasingly underpins the success of NHS professionals – in their relationships both with patients and colleagues. Speaking, listening and writing skills can be optimised to ensure that patients experience high-quality interactions with healthcare professionals, helping to improve the overall standard of their care. Being an effective communicator also enables a professional to reduce stress in their own daily work and gain enhanced career prospects.

We have provided a list of relevant articles from MA Healthcare journals dealing with this area, thereby providing your staff with research, information and tips that will support both their work and the quality of care for their patients.
