The Clinical Processes B subject continues from knowledge and skills gained in Clinical Processes A, from Semester 1. The student will develop their clinical communication skills (listening skills, empathy, informational and affective counselling) and apply these to the professional context. This subject will build upon skills of self-review and reflection that were established in Clinical Processes A. This subject will provide opportunities for students to plan management strategies for a range of simulated cases. It will involve development of skills such as planning session goals, and accurately reporting on clinical sessions. Clinical Processes B will provide an introduction to the principles of evidence based practice, and critical appraisal of the literature. This subject is structured around 12 workshops, and includes group discussions/activities, videos, the use of standardised and ‘simulated’ patients and role play.
