Ethics, communication skills, and the law ('practice skills') are
important in all aspects of modern health care. Doctors and nurses
must be sensitive to the ethical aspects of their work and
understand the legal framework within which clinical decisions are
made. Well developed skills of communication, with patients, their
relatives and other members of the clinical team, are a key feature
of good clinical practice
Until recently, the important of practice skills has been
relatively neglected in health care education. This situation is
changing. The UK General Medical Council, for example, has recently
identified three aspects as part of the core of the medical course,
and the move to degree courses in nursing has led to an increasing
focus of practice skills in nurse education.
The Oxford Practice Skills Project (OPSP) team have developed a
course, within the University of Oxford Clinical School, which
covers the teaching of practice skills in an integrated manner.
This course is widely recognized as one of the most systematic
developments of education in these areas.
This manual describes the OPSP course in detail and provides
teaching materials. Although developed initially for medical
students, it should be helpful to all those involved in teaching
ethics, communication skills, and law in health care.
