Dynamic communication is the cornerstone of quality patient-caregiver relationship in cancer care. Enabling supportive communication provides people affected by cancer a safe avenue to explore information about illness, treatment and prognosis. Positive communication is also known to enhance patient disclosure, decrease patient anxiety and increase satisfaction with care.

This workshop will focus on key communication skills and strategies that participants can practice and apply in all settings to further develop effective communications with people affected by cancer as well as the interdisciplinary team.
