The focus of this workshop is to review core communication skills using the Calgary-Cambridge Guide, focusing especially on skills for shared decision making. The components of shared decision making from the Calgary-Cambridge Guide (sharing your thinking, exploring options, negotiating the plan and checking with the patient), were covered in Module 2 (Core Consultation Skills) and in this module we are consolidating that learning with more in-depth teaching and simulation.
Staff attending this module are encouraged to complete Modules 1 and 2 in advance of taking this workshop.
