You will address:

• Engaging patients and service users who are at risk- the key communication skills
• Skills and strategies to use in assessment and management
• How to use video-feedback sensitively and effectively to teach these skills and strategies routinely to our trainees

You will learn through a range of approaches including brief talks, discussion, role-play and video feedback. You will work with real clinical case studies that you and your peers bring along on the day.
