Why is it important for health and social care practitioners to have good communication skills?
Good communication is probably the most important skill you will need to work in health or social care type settings. Being able to talk to someone and, perhaps more importantly, being able to listen is a skill that not everyone has. People generally seek help from these agencies when they have a problem. If they don’t feel the person they are talking to is listening to what they have to say, they will loose confidence in their ability to help them. Communication comes in many forms. We communicate with body language, gestures, language etc. They are all equally important.
