Our blended learning ACST course for roles in Critical Care is an adapted version of the advanced communication skills training course format. The course content is tailored to the role and the communication challenges faced by those working in Critical Care.
The sessions enable staff to share openly the specific challenges within the role. The mutual understanding of those challenges strengthens the focus and increases the ability to address the issues.
All the workshop role-plays will be relevant and relatable with common ground and language. The group can draw on their expertise and experiences, leading to greater engagement, trust and collaboration
Develops the skills to deliver constructive feedback, to improve team working and the strategies to address issues within teams in a purposeful and beneficial way
