An introduction to speaking publicly or via the media for GPs

Giving you the power to say what you want to say and to say it well. This is the world of the soundbite, the app, the tweet, the word cloud. It’s a world of 24-hour rolling news... of vox pops, webcasts and video clips. In business today, you are expected to be able to communicate quickly and simply: » to hit the right note » to come across well » to create memory. Whether it’s talking via broadcast or narrowcast TV, on radio, to the press, or presenting to an audience – live or virtual – the right preparation gives you the power to say what you want to say and to say it well.

Active Bystander Training

Witnessing verbal and physical abuse, discrimination, racism and micro-aggression effects everyone! Have you ever been in a situation where you want to challenge someone’s behaviour - but you didn’t know how to do it or what to say? This session has been developed to support ALL members of the Primary Care Team. It includes self-coaching techniques to help you keep a cool head when you’re faced with a challenging situation, and assertive language devices which you can use to make sure your voice is heard if you want to raise a concern. The session focuses on challenging inappropriate workplace behaviours from patients and colleagues and will give you the tools needed to be able to do this confidently.
