Conversations That Build Trust: Techniques for Patient-Centered Conversations
Trust is built through the way we communicate, especially in moments when patients and families need clarity, empathy and support.
This microlearning introduces practical techniques for moving beyond task-focused exchanges and creating more meaningful, person-centered conversations. You’ll explore common communication barriers, the PC4 Model and the N.U.R.S.E. framework as tools to support empathy, clarity and trust.
By building these skills, you’ll be better prepared to foster patient confidence, strengthen communication across your team and support more compassionate care experiences.
