This course focuses on effective communication which is central to all health and
social care sectors. Professionals require good communication and interpersonal
skills to perform their roles effectively, work cooperatively with colleagues and
build supportive relationships with people. It is, therefore, important for all those
embarking on a career to gain knowledge, understanding and the skills associated
with communication. Learners will consider the factors that influence
communication and interactions, analyzing theories which may help to explain why
there may be difficulties, possible breakdowns in communication and ways to
overcome these.
