Clinicians involved in palliative care are inclined to be sensitive to
the humanistic aspects clinical practice – foremost among them being
good communication. For both children and their families choosing the
time, manner, environment and context into which communication about
care that is oriented towards optimizing the quality of their days
throughout a disease trajectory is extremely important. This webinar
will explore the scope of communication concerns – both verbal and
non-verbal – that all clinicians should be aware of. Strategies around
active listening, reflection and an effort to engage in relational
communication – directed at the human relationship within the clinical
encounter more so than the disease/treatment or simply patient in
isolation – with an allowance for timely silence, acknowledgment of
suffering and emotional validation will be discussed. Finally, the
importance of key words – those that may be easily taken out of context,
or heard differently than intended – will be addressed.
