Develop your practical skills in effective communication for optimal clinical outcomes Effective communication is essential for success in clinical practice. Dental practitioners are bound by National Law to deliver Patient-Centred Care, which includes involving our patients in a shared decision-making process, and these principals are highlighted in the updated Dental Board Code of Conduct. This full-day interactive hands-on course will develop your communication skills and help to mitigate risk, reduce complaints, deliver more effective clinical and financial consent, reduce stress, overcome objections, handle difficult conversations, enhance your case presentation skills, increase your treatment acceptance rates, and ultimately lead to better clinical outcomes for you and your patients. Join this specially designed course and discover several effective communication strategies to better deliver complex treatment plans using jargon free language and increase your treatment acceptance rates. In addition, discover how clinical photography is a critical component of a successful clinical practice and communication to your patients. You will experience a practical hands-on training using a Clincam camera, that you will be able to keep and help elevate your case presentation. Further details below. This course is ideal for 0-10 years of clinical experience, students, ADC practitioners and the whole dental team.
