Empathetic communications over the phone

The pandemic has changed what we know as good empathetic communications with patients, family and carers. We have swapped closeness and empathetic touch with distance and virtual. But the core premise to good patient experience is combining great clinical outcomes with empathetic, personalised care and communications. As Maya Angelou once said ‘…people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel’. Please note, this workshop can only be booked for teams and organisations.

Content

The workshop will cover:

  • Reflecting on social trends, latest thinking and consumer behaviour on customer service in a pandemic and how these are displayed in healthcare
  • Strategies for managing difficult conversations on the phone
  • Developing skills in empathetic listening & oral communication, maximising the human component of customer interactions
  • Becoming skilled in reading the nonverbal clues your customers are providing on the phone
  • Learning how to respond in ways that create a far more satisfying customer experience.

The following will be used to aid learning: online quizzes, videos, Slido interaction, scenarios.
