Description - Role Play and Clinical Communication by John Skelton

This book is about certain aspects of simulation in clinical education. It uses role play as an entry-point for a broad-based consideration of clinical education. The author critically examines the practice and benefits of this mainstream teaching method. His wide-ranging approach reflects on the recent developments within medical education incorporating the medical humanities the nature of language and communication and the rules of human behaviour. It demonstrates that the role of the simulator is to offer opportunities to practice the relevant skills to apply the relevant knowledge and to reflect on the relevant attitudes in as effective a manner as possible. Readers will find the author's light-hearted and open-minded attitude to communication unquestionably illuminating. Ultimately it shows that a good healthcare professional is someone who understands the context of practice and when it comes to teaching this what cannot be easily defined easily researched or easily analysed can be demonstrated.
