Communication in Health and Social Care
Communication in Health and Social Care
Communication is a two-way process of sharing and understanding information. It is an essential part of everyday life. People communicate in a variety of ways, such as through speech, body language and gestures.
Communication is paramount in health and social care settings because professionals need to understand the needs of all individuals. A practitioner should be able to recognise a service user’s needs even if the service user can only communicate non-verbally.
