The General Medical Council observed that overseas doctors often experience ‘difficulties with subtleties of language and dialect […], misunderstandings of the nuances of non-verbal communication and social and behavioural norms’ (2014). Such inadequacies have knock-on effects for the treatment and care of patients, as well as patient safety, governance and safeguarding.
Induction for Overseas Doctors, developed by medical communications experts, Ros Wright and Marie McCullagh, is a 3-day course that aims to:
• Develop patient consultation skills
• Deal with different patient types
• Enhance communication with other healthcare professionals
• Engage in reflective practice
• Integrate into the UK
