Communication skills in medicine : promoting
patient-centred care / Michele Groves and Jennifer Fitzgerald. 2010. Shelved in
the library at: W 62 C734
Patient-centred medicine is increasingly being adopted as a model
of practice by doctors and other front-line health professionals

is effective communication, which encompasses four essential tasks:
to establish rapport and trust, to empathise with patients’ problems
and view of the world, to educate patients about their immediate
problem and their health in general, and to empower patients to
be active partners in the decision-making and management processes
related to their own health.
This book aims to introduce its readers to communication skills
that are based on the principles of patient-centred care, and
are applicable in a wide variety of healthcare-delivery settings.
