Young medical students - Medical Communication Skills Coaching | Oxford, UK | OMCS

Working alongside clinicians who commission the work, Amy will help create and develop a bespoke one-off or a series of workshops dependent on your needs. The aim of this training is to improve the communication skills of trainees and their ability and confidence to manage challenging situations by using simulated scenarios.

Amy leads a team of experienced professional actors, who will convey various patients of differing mental states, for a full range of true to life medical scenarios.

As a communication skills coach, Amy will observe the simulation and analyse the communication skills offering detailed, specific feedback for participants. This is a great opportunity for trainees to receive expert advice.

These sessions can be solely delivered and facilitated by Amy or co-facilitated with a clinical educator.

1-2-1 sessions

Tailored to your requirements

Amy Enticknap and male medical student in coaching session - Medical Communication Skills Coaching | Oxford, UK | OMCS

We start the OMCS 1-2-1 coaching process with a complimentary 30 minute online consultation, to discuss your needs and aims. We will then formulate individually tailored sessions just for you.

As a professional actor, your coach Amy conveys various patients of differing mental states for a full range of true to life medical scenarios. After the simulation, there is a debrief when Amy will analyse your communication skills and offer detailed, specific feedback.

This bespoke approach will continue with Amy bringing roleplay scenarios to each hourly session for you to simulate. She will roleplay a variety of patients and afterwards come out of role for the debrief session. Amy will discuss the areas you’d like to focus on in the next sessions and bring further suitable scenarios.
