Intercultural Communication Skills for GPS

A multicultural workplace is enriching but it can also bring its own communication challenges. This highly practical and thought-provoking workshop provides the opportunity to explore these challenges and to develop strategies that facilitate clearer communication. The workshop is aimed at GPs who work in culturally and linguistically diverse settings and are keen to improve communication with patients and/or colleagues. The workshop will offer support for both GPs who are English speaking and GPs who speak English as an additional language. Whether you're navigating idioms, accents or cultural cues, this workshop is designed with you in mind. If English isn't your first language, you'll find practical tools to help overcome common barriers and grow in confidence when communicating with patients and peers.

Join us for this free, practical and inspiring webinar to discover how small quality-improvement projects and everyday changes can make a meaningful difference for people living with advanced serious illness, those approaching the end of life, and their families and carers. Good palliative and end-of-life care is not delivered by one clinician or through one conversation alone. It is created by the whole general practice team through the people we notice, the questions we ask, the information we record and share, and the simple systems we put in place.
