Who is it for?

This module is designed for nurses and nursing students to prepare for the challenges of interprofessional work, helping them to enhance their communication and collaboration skills.

While this module is tailored around the daily lives and responsibilities of nurses, other healthcare staff and students may find the tools useful and applicable to their own roles.

Scenario

Guided by two virtual coaches, Nurse Sam and Nurse Carlos, users will learn how to use the CUS (Concerned. Uncomfortable. Safety issue) technique to raise concerns. They'll then practice using this technique with the virtual Dr Huan.
