Overview

It can be very difficult to maintain composure and resolve conflict appropriately in some of today's sticky healthcare situations.

If you're a healthcare professional or work in a healthcare environment, you're bound to deal with difficult patients. And, if not handled correctly, a difficult patient can escalate into a hazardous event. Most patients don't set out to be difficult. Rather, they become difficult out of frustration, anger, confusion and/or fear.

Learn how to address all of these situations and end each encounter on a positive note. This Webinar equips you with the communication strategies and confrontation management skills you need to survive and thrive in your demanding, high-stress healthcare environment. After one hour, you and your coworkers will return to work with a fresh outlook and the sense of fulfillment, satisfaction and empathy that brought you to the healthcare field in the first place.
