The Communicating for Clinical Care Project aims to introduce and test trigger scenarios as an effective education tool in communication for use with ward level health care staff.
The project plans to:-
- Source existing teaching tools in communication and develop additional material and tools
- Test the tools at a range of demonstration sites in NSW
- Based on successes trialling the tools and supporting materials, develop additional tools in consultation with Area Health Service (AHS) representatives, and roll this education program out across NSW Health.
