Health Action Training: Issues in Health Communication
(Train the Trainer: Course 2)
Interpersonal communication or lack of it, remains one of the most central issues of modern healthcare. Irrespective of the environment, mode of delivery or client group the expectation is that communication in healthcare must be a positive human to human experience. Central to the values of all professionals and organisations involved in healthcare is the need to convey compassion, respect and dignity in the treatment of human beings, normally referred to as person-centred care.
This 35-hr course builds on the Graduate Certificate in Health Action Training (HAT) providing a more in-depth analysis of the theoretical underpinnings of HAT alongside other models and frameworks. Being a HAT Trainer requires in-depth knowledge of the context and complexity of issues that exist in health communication. This is a necessary starting point for design of effective role plays and simulation of real life experiences for future learners.
You will cover the following key areas in this course, all of which will be referenced to your field of practice:
- Principles and practice of effective communication with emphasis on HAT principles and practices
- Communication issues in complex and rapidly changing care environments
- Communication and ethical issues
- Self-awareness and leadership for effective communication
- Authentic simulations and challenging role-plays
