Opportunity description
Practical ways to increase trust, communication & connection with consumers in acute settings, while balancing the demands of a busy ward environment.Research shows that consumers consistently identify connection, communication and trust as fundamental to positive experiences in acute care settings. But busy ward environments can make it hard for clinicians to find time to make meaningful connections with consumers.

This workshop is co-presented by a consumer and a nurse.
