Scenario

Scenario

Across this two-module series, learners will be guided by virtual coaches Abeeku and Nola to uncover the essentials for person-centred communication skills through a combination of theory and practice.

With Abeeku and Nola, learners will explore the fundamentals of empathetic communication, including how to build self-esteem in those they care for and working with those individuals to plan their care. They will then embody the role of healthcare practitioner to apply what they’ve learned.
