The ENHANCE Programme – Enhancing doctor-patient communication skills

There are three primary attributes a doctor must develop during his/her
career to attain professional excellence, and they must be applied in equal
measure on a daily basis to achieve the best health outcomes in patients.

Yet, we know that there is a significant imbalance in the educational importance placed on diagnostic skills and medical knowledge when compared with the third primary driver of excellence: Interpersonal skills.

The value of quality communication between doctors and their patients cannot be overestimated. Clear, concise, two-way communication is vital to patient satisfaction, motivation, and treatment outcomes, as well as effective time and resource management. This is where ENHANCE can help.

“It is amazing to us that the final crucial step in a long pipeline of science and disease intervention – communication around the actual taking of medications – was being largely ignored.”
