Managing Challenging Conversations

About this course

Managing Challenging Conversations

Managing Challenging Conversations gives staff a practical, realistic understanding of what drives conflict and why difficult behaviours can arise in a pressured healthcare environment.

We explore the CHIMP model, emotional triggers and the patterns that tend to escalate situations. 

Using simple, structured tools, participants learn how to communicate clearly, maintain professionalism and support patients through challenging moments without absorbing all the emotion themselves.

Testimonials

My team have taken so much from this workshop. They have a clearer understanding of how conflict arises and tools to manage patient (and colleague) interactions much more effectively. We are enjoying having our own practice Chimp, a brilliant way to keep the learning alive!
