The Centre for Communication Education Research and Professional Development (CCERPD) at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), hosted a capacity-building workshop on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, in Winneba. The event focused on equipping health practitioners with advanced patient communication and caregiving skills to improve healthcare delivery beyond medical treatment.
Context: The Crucial Role of Communication in Healthcare
Effective communication between healthcare providers and patients is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of quality healthcare. It extends beyond the mere delivery of medical information, encompassing empathy, active listening, and understanding the patient’s emotional state. Poor communication can lead to misunderstandings, decreased patient trust, reduced adherence to treatment plans, and ultimately, poorer health outcomes. Conversely, strong communication fosters a collaborative environment, enhances patient satisfaction, and can significantly impact recovery.
