OUTCOME 1.2 Effective communication is central part of work that happens in care settings. I may need to develop a range of communication skills and be able to use them effectively to carry out aspects of work. I need to be able to communicate effectively with patients,their families and my colleagues. The family of patients need to be able to trust me and have confidence in my abilities to support and care. It is very important to establish a good rapport with them, to show respect, to consulted about any patients problems, to speak directly and clearly, to respect confidentiality by communicating personal,sensitive or private information. Like this, families will trust and respect me. It is not always easy to communicate with patients,but is more likely to be effective if i get them attention before i start talking as well
