Having Difficult Conversations: Setting, Stance and Case Discussion
In this course, we’ll draw on real case examples of recent difficult conversations you’ve had, share them confidentially and practice conversational skills using these conversations as a starting point.
You’ll sign up to a day of training plus two further one hour online sessions, in which each member of your small group will have the chance to bring a recent difficult conversation they’ve had as material for discussion and learning. In this way, the course will seek to convey the merits of embedding case-based discussion into everyday practice.
Learning Outcomes
We’ll provide a grounding in the theories and techniques that underpin an effective approach to difficult conversations
- We’ll formulate psychologically the interpersonal dilemmas faced by staff and families in frontline healthcare.
- We’ll consider the impact of the setting in which conversations take place, and become aware of our own stance as integral to a good conversation.
- And we’ll practice having difficult conversations with trained actors. This practice will take as its material real cases from the group.
