Communication skills for Pharmacists

Overview

The communication process between health professionals and patients serves two primary functions.
1. It establishes an ongoing relationship between the professional and the patient.
2. It provides the exchange of information necessary to assess a patient’s health condition, implement treatment of medical problems, and evaluate the effects of treatment on a patient’s quality of life.

In this lecture we will focus on pharmacists and the method of acquiring effective communication skills to deal with patients.
