Physical distancing. Quarantine. Self-isolation. Cocooning.
COVID-19 has required both our patients and our teams to radically change how we do business, how we communicate and how we fulfill our professional duties. We have seen a dramatic shift from in person consultations towards phone consultations. Many patients are no longer attending their GP or collecting their prescription in person. In addition, for patients and their representatives who attend the pharmacy in person, communication from behind a mask changes the dynamic. It becomes even more important to check that the messages we and our patients have intended to send, are, in fact, the messages received. How can we meet our patients where THEY are at (in their own home)? How can we adapt our communication to better meet their needs and safeguard their health and wellbeing in the current circumstances?
The aim of this webinar is to provide useful communication tips and tools to use during COVID-19 and beyond.
