Give Your Career A Boost.
Learning Medical English increases the opportunities of getting a promotion, a new job and a salary raise.
For those working in a medical field, it is important to be highly accurate and clear in their communication, but they also need to be able to show tact and sensitivity.
We aid the professional development of doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals who do not have English as their first language, where the ability to communicate effectively with English-speaking patients is a key factor.
Medical English course is designed to improve the communication skills and specialist English language knowledge of healthcare professionals, enabling them to work more confidently and effectively. With an emphasis on listening and speaking, the course covers areas such as:
- The language of patient interaction
- Patient Admission
- Asking for and describing symptoms
- Using plain English with patients
- People and places in the hospital
- Key patient interactions
- Taking Medical Specimens
- Patient Handover
- Discharge Planning
- Human anatomy and physiology
- Development of presentation skills
