The New Grad Physio Podcast: 'How A Night In A&E Taught Me A Valuable Communication Lesson'
In this episode of The New Grad Physio Podcast I detail how a recent night I spent in A & E can teach us all a valuable lesson about communication, specifically, how poor communication can quickly ruin your patients experience of your care.
You will discover how poor communication between yourself and your patients can quickly derail your sessions and cause poor patient understanding, a lack of trust in you as a therapist and poor patient adherence to your treatment plans.
You will also learn how to build good rapport with your patients using basic communication skills and find out why patients might not always want, or even need a diagnosis..
Enjoy the podcast.
