SUMMARY:The Therapeutic Power of Language Masterclass – Advanced Communication Skills for Clinical Practice
DESCRIPTION:For audiology professionals\, clinical excellence isn’t just about technical skill—it’s about how effectively we communicate with patients. The Therapeutic Language Workshop from Human Givens College offers BAA members a powerful opportunity to enhance one of the most underdeveloped yet critical clinical competencies: therapeutic communication. \nBuilt on a practical\, evidence-based psychological framework\, the Human Givens approach focuses on using language to reduce anxiety\, improve understanding\, and support behaviour change—skills that are directly transferable to audiology settings\, from managing patient expectations to improving adherence and outcomes. \nIn an environment where patient experience\, counselling\, and holistic care are increasingly prioritised\, this training enables audiologists to move beyond information delivery—to truly influence\, reassure\, and support patients more effectively in every interaction. \nVenues in London and Bristol. \nMon 13th & Tues 14th July\, in Bristol (Engineer’s House) \nTues 3rd & Wed 4th November\, in central London (Broadway House) \nLength 2 days (9:30am – 4:00pm) \nTutor: Dr Gareth Hughes \nAccredited CPD Certificate: 12 hours \nPrice: £440 per person \nIncludes lunch\, refreshments and course notes \nBook your place > https://www.humangivens.com/college/therapeutic-language-workshop/
