The core Clinical Communication Skills course is delivered in Year 4 (GE2). Additional cross curricular clinical communication skills teaching occurs in year 5 (GE3) on the Psychiatry, Population Health and Women’s and Reproductive Health placements.

The sessions are run as small groups, facilitated by a clinician tutor working with a simulated patient. Learning is shared and supported through role play and feedback. The sessions are set to offer increasing levels of challenge as the students’ progress through their clinical course. We also offer individual support for students who require additional input with their communication skills.
