City St. George’s, University of London.

UK Council for Clinical Communication in Undergraduate Medical Education Conference

We invite you to share your learning from your stories on the journey towards mastery.

The UK Council for Clinical Communication (UKCCC) in Undergraduate Medical Education supports and promotes effective teaching in clinical communication.  We are delighted to announce that it will be hosting the upcoming national conference in undergraduate clinical communication teaching, led jointly by the newly merged City St. George’s, University of London and the UK Council for Clinical Communication (UKCCC), in the Northampton Suite, University Building, City St. George’s, Clerkenwell Campus, EC1V 0HB.

This two-day conference is aimed at all involved in the delivery of undergraduate clinical communication education including tutors, simulated patients, patient educators and students. While the emphasis is on undergraduate medical education, our experience is that the day will also be very helpful for those who are involved in postgraduate training.

The theme of this conference is ‘Moving Towards Mastery – Learning from Miscommunication’ and we invite you to share your learning from your stories on the journey towards mastery.

The intention is to share innovative and best practice within UK clinical communication education. In the past, participants have enjoyed a range of educational material from research presentations to developmental workshops and have shared innovative teaching ideas. Work in progress as well as completed work is welcome.

To ensure there is quality time for meaningful conversations and sharing ideas, places are limited.
