Good Practice is a course for doctors and medical students who need
to communicate with patients in English, and can be used in the
classroom or for self-study. Good Practice focuses on the language
and communication skills that doctors need to make consultations
more effective through a focus on five elements of good
communication: verbal communication, active listening, voice
management, non-verbal communication and cultural awareness. The
course teaches learners how to sensitively handle a range of
situations such as taking a patient history, breaking bad news,
examining a patient and describing treatment options, as well as
preparing doctors for dealing with different types of patients,
from children to the elderly. With reference to numerous medical
communication experts, and through exposure to authentic clinical
scenarios, the course demonstrates the impact of good communication
on the doctor-patient relationship and enables students to become
confident and effective practitioners in English. The Teacher's
Book is an invaluable tool for anyone wishing to use Good Practice
in the classroom. As well as guiding the teacher through the
activities, each unit offers background information to the unit
topic, notes on medical terminology, pronunciation guidance and
suggestions for further reading. The Teacher's Book also offers 12
photocopiable related reading texts and photocopiable worksheets to
use with the Good Practice DVD.
