Effective Communication and Care Planning
£9.00 – £495.00
Introduction
Verbal and non-verbal communication is unique to every individual, especially in care settings where staff need to understand the individuals that they support. Effective Communication & Care Planning explores the principles of communication, the importance of effective communication, and how communication (verbal and non-verbal) can be adapted to meet the needs of the individual. Using these skills, trainees will then learn about how communication can be implemented for effective, legally defensible care plans and risk assessments.
