Confident Conversations (For Healthcare)
This is a highly interactive programme designed by the communication experts at TCM. The course helps learners to develop essential skills for everyday management within the healthcare setting.
Delegates will learn how to address important issues in a confident manner with skill, confidence and empathy. Offering a proactive and hands-on approach to teaching, the TCM trainers equip delegates with competency to have those crucial conversations and prevent disputes from escalating out of control and impacting upon patient care.
The ability to manage difficult conversations is one of the cornerstones of effective healthcare management. On this course, delegates learn how to hold conversations that enable them to nip issues in the bud and give feedback to their team concerning performance or behaviour issues such as punctuality, absence, or styles of communication. Delegates also learn how to prevent conflicts escalating, understand barriers to communication, how to overcome them and how to handle challenging behaviours. Through active participation and experiential learning, delegates develop confidence to secure sustainable outcomes.

I can be on call outside usual working hours and it can feel like everyone wants a piece of you at the same time. Patient issues can become more difficult, there are fewer staff and the situation becomes quite stressful. I have certainly applied the learning. I’ve more awareness of how to prioritise and how to prevent something from escalating. I’m more patient. I take a pause before I act and I’m more aware of what I’m saying. It’s been very positive.” TRAINEE PSYCHIATRIST FROM AN NHS MENTAL HEALTH TRUST
