What is a ‘Quality Conversation’?
A ‘quality conversation’ focuses on person-centred communication. It combines general communication skills with health coaching techniques, helping to understand factors that affect a person’s health and wellbeing.

Better engagement with colleagues, patients, clients, families, and carers can lead to improved teamwork, health outcomes, and patient satisfaction.
