In this workshop-style event, delegates will work in small groups to explore the important role of communicating with confidence within the workplace through a series of sessions.

The full-day event aims to improve interactions with patients and colleagues using an evidence-based approach to help develop a range of skills including:

  • Learn the principles of assertive communication techniques
  • Understand how emotions can affect our actions in difficult situations and review the importance of self-esteem
  • Learn to set boundaries during professional interactions and effectively redirect people when these are crossed
  • Be able to say ‘no’ without damaging working relationships
  • Understand how conflict can be triggered by communication style and learn techniques to avoid this outcome.
