Communication in Health and Social Care

Online Course • Hospital Direct

About the CPD course

Communication is a two-way process of sharing and understanding information. It is an essential part of everyday life. People communicate in a variety of ways; such as through speech; body language and gestures. Communication is paramount in health and social care settings because professionals need to understand the needs of all individuals. A practitioner should be able to recognise a service users needs even if the service user can only communicate non-verbally.
