Communication Skills Toolbox

The Communication Toolbox was developed for GP Supervisors and Medical Educators to assist doctors, particularly those that had trained outside of Australia, to work in the Australian Healthcare system. This includes an appreciation of:

• the organisational structures and systems in which we work
• the learning and teaching techniques that we utilise
• the cultural, societal and communication considerations that contribute to patient care

The Toolbox provides ideas and techniques, guidelines, readings, worksheets and references.
