Course content
You work or study in the medical field as a doctor, nurse, dentist, pharmacist, physiotherapist, healthcare assistant or in another role, and you often encounter English in your professional activities. Sometimes you may find it difficult to express yourself as fluently as you would like, or you struggle to conduct a consultation in English — giving medical results, contacting other healthcare professionals, making appointments, and so on.
Do you feel it’s a pity that this language barrier sometimes causes you to lose a bit of contact with your patients? Then this English for Healthcare Professionals Level 4 course is definitely for you. It is a lively, dynamic and rich course that will give your confidence a real boost!
In this course you will learn:
- specialised vocabulary on topics such as:
- the human body
- symptoms
- diagnoses
- treatments
- medications
- polite and professional communication
- etc.
- how to make an appointment;
- how to conduct a consultation;
- how to deliver bad news;
- how to communicate with other healthcare professionals.
