Breakdowns in communication and trust and ever increasing expectations of treatment and care can result in conflict. The impact on all those involved in terms of time and emotion can be enormous. During the seminar we’ll look at:
-How to recognise the warning signs of conflict.
-Understanding the pathway of escalation.
-The impact of conflict on participants’ medical practice.
-Strategies and mediation skills for engaging with patients in order to avoid conflict.
