The focus is on influencing policies/pra ctices focused on clinical communication skills. The course combines large group interactive sessions\, featuring evidence-informed guidance and con crete steps for developing effective strategies with small group sessions where participants work on their individual real-world issues and develop plans of action.\n\nThis course will explore principles of effective commu nication/negotiation at all levels.\n\nWe will discuss and engage in pract ical activities designed to build skills in negotiation/communication in c ontext such as:\n\n Negotiating between accrediting bodies and medical sc hools.\n Working with educators/researchers and their institutions to sec ure how to support for your success in curriculum a or program development /implementation/delivery\, research\, funding\, or promotion and more.\n Influencing healthcare providers to adopt best practice guidelines\; and\n Shaping affect higher levels of policy to influence healthcare instituti ons and systems\, funders and related stakeholders\, etc.\n\nResearch show s that most patients around the world do not get humanistic\, patient-cent ric\, and empathic care resulting in poor outcomes with high disease burde n and low satisfaction scores despite the availability of very effective t herapies and technologies. Members of EACH have contributed substantially to the literature that demonstrates how the absence of effective communica tion has contributed to this deficit. pEACH (Policy &\; Practice Commit tee of EACH) is committed to supporting the implementation of research fin dings into effective\, evidence-based practice\, as well as influencing po licymakers to develop and uphold humanistic medical practice policies.\n\n Influencing policy and practice is challenging\, requiring motivation and skill to effect change. pEACH is determined to educate our members on effe ctive\, efficient\, and evidence-based communication skills\, and to provi de ready to use resources to engage policymakers and other key health stak eholders to build a system that can serve the needs of our patients.\n\nGr eat communicators are great negotiators\; they resolve seemingly intractab le disputes and enhance working relationships. Their negotiation/communica tion skills determine their effectiveness as communicators and influencers of policy. EACH members are often involved in communication and negotiati on with an array of stakeholders\, including healthcare system bosses / go verning boards / C-suites / accrediting bodies / patients / end-users / go vernment / health plans / insurance companies / EMR vendors / pharmaceutic al companies and many more.\n\nThe ability to negotiate requires a collect ion of interpersonal and communication skills used together to bring about a desired result. It is based on exploring underlying interests and posit ions to bring parties together in a constructive way. Effective negotiator s use innovative thinking to create lasting value and forge strong profess ional relationships. They take a deep dive into the motivations and influe nces behind differing perspectives to better understand and tackle challen ges and disagreements.\n\nThis half-day highly interactive session\, provi des evidence/data-based tools/interventions and strategies for identifying individual communication preferences\, delivery methods\, and approaches to conflict resolution. Participants will have opportunities to discover\, learn and practice a range of negotiation skills/tools and techniques. Th e session will also include case-studies\, findings from the literature\, needs assessment data\, and practical conflict management tools that are u seful in negotiation. Evidence-based interventions and tools will be discu ssed &\; practiced.\n\nThe course will be held in English and as much a s possible will accommodate participants for whom English is not their fir st language. We recognise that institutions in different countries will ha ve varying resources\, power structures and policy differences. This cours e is designed to take this into account\, and we will support you in devis ing strategies tailored to your specific context.  The course will be hig hly interactive and participant centered\, enabling individual participant s to formulate concrete plans for the future to help them achieve success and enhance their professional satisfaction &\; wellbeing.\n\nThe sessi on will feature dynamic small group discussions and role-play activities. Participants will work collaboratively through posed challenges using grou p ‘problem-solving’ activities\, to ensure that they develop practical strategies that address the needs and expectations of our policymakers\, and patients.\n\nCourse Objectives\n\nAs a result of this course\, partici pants will be able to:\n\n Appraise and apply effective communication and negotiation techniques\, skills and strategies\, while preserving and str engthening relationships with policy makers &\; key decision makers.\n Understand how different approaches to conflict can influence the negotia tion process and its outcomes.\n Describe how personal interests and posi tions influence negotiation dynamics.\n Identify personal strengths and o pportunities for improving communication and negotiation skills. \n Recog nize the value of understanding one’s best alternative to a negotiated a greement (BATNA) and its role in successful negotiation.\n Apply principl es of negotiation and communication to their own projects or goals\n\nThe course facilitators have extensive experience in teaching effective negoti ation and communication skills.
