Communication in Nursing and Healthcare - Sage Publications

Communication is an essential skill for nurses, midwives and allied health professionals when delivering care to patients and their families.

This book focuses on how to communicate for person-centred, compassionate and collaborative care. With its unique three part structure, it builds from introductory skills for new students through to more advanced skills for those about to transition to their first role.

Here on the Values Exchange, you can take part in interactive activities to help you think critically about your communication skills.

Get the most out of the Sage Values Exchange

Reflective Practice

The Sage Values Exchange challenges you to respond to polls, surveys and thinking exercises taken from examples and situations in the printed book. As soon as you submit your views you receive comprehensive reports and are able to see what everyone else thinks, and why. You are also able to comment directly on what they have said and to invite others to be your ‘friend’ in the community. The exercises are thought-provoking and enjoyable and will boost your communication, critical thinking and reflective practice skills.

Revalidation Portfolio

The Sage Values Exchange offers a unique – and free – way to create a portfolio of reflective practice and ethical reasoning that you can use as evidence for revalidation. Whenever you respond to an issue your thoughts and analysis are automatically stored in your e-portfolio. You can share these with anyone you wish. Unlike other revalidation portfolios, we guarantee continued access to your e-portfolio. You are also able to blog and keep a journal on the Values Exchange, and share this with anyone you choose.

Connect

The Sage Values Exchange is a growing, dynamic community of people interested in the printed book. Both staff and students can join and interact creatively. There are several ways of sharing information and working and learning together, including: digital boards for sharing files and video material, private messaging, live chat and a webinar facility. We store all data on a secure and confidential server and do not advertise external products or use any of your private information.
