WEBINAR DETAILS
Healthcare workers often use two types of language,
“backstage” and “bedside.” Typically, how staff speak about situations in the
office is not how they talk with clients – or is it? “Your husband is
terminally ill.” “Your wife is actively dying.” Are you certain the audience being
addressed knows what is being discussed? What about when coworkers say, “This
is a difficult family”? What does that mean and what are we to do about it? Improve
the level of care with this worthwhile webinar that will look at ways to
communicate more effectively both backstage and at the bedside.
