2MEDICAL EDUCATIONIntroductionMedical education is the branch of medical science which is related to impartingsufficient technical and non-technical skills to a registered medical practitioner for catering to thevarious health requirements of the patients. Apart from the technical skills the medical educationalso covers the non-technical aspects which further helps in understanding the care concerns andthe individual needs of the support users. The current assignment takes into consideration thenon-technical aspects of medical education. For the current study we have taken intoconsideration the communication skills or approaches implemented within an acute hospitalsetting. The communication is an indispensable component for the proper implementation ofpolicies and procedures within a hospital set up. The current assignment focuses on designing training for junior doctors for improvingtheir communication skills and abilities. The development of communication tactics helps ahealth care professional in sending clear and concise information across the channel. This furtherhelps in the implementation of informed decision making where concise and clear messages areshared with the patients and their respective family members regarding the care policies andprocedures. In this context, inefficiency in speaking up certain languages can act as a majorhindrance in understanding the major distresses of the patients. Designing learning objectives for imparting communication skills A number of learning objectives could be designed based upon the requirements of theservice professionals. Some of the learning objectives have been enumerated below as follows:
3MEDICAL EDUCATIONTo communicate ethically, responsibly and effectively with the patientsThe patient and their respective families need to be made a part of the care plans anddesigning process. This provides sufficient autonomy to the patients and their respectivefamilies where they could equally participate in the health support programmes. As commentedby Gordon et al. (2012), the implementation of the right to decision making forms the veryfoundation of a health care setting. The breach or the violation of any such rights can invite legalactions against the health care providers.To communicate effectively within a group to analyse the patient problem and devise a solutionEffective communication need to be implemented within a group for understanding anddesigning of effective strategies for provision of proper care to the patients. However as arguedby Lewis et al. (2012), often geographical or language differences can act as hindrances. Thisprevents active exchange of information within a healthcare team. Therefore, activecommunication needs to be supported within a group by formulating effective communicationgoals and strategies.To develop interpersonal communication competencesThe development of interpersonal communication skills are centred on learning differentbody languages for communicating effectively with the patient and their respective families. Thiscan help the junior doctors communicate easily with the patients and also enhance the bond oftrust between the doctors and the patients. As mentioned by Akaikeet al.(2012), use of friendlygestures helps a healthcare professional in comprehending the complex health care requirementsof the patients.
