Basic psychological skills for all clinicians
All hospital doctors should be able to -
- Communicate clearly with patients, discuss concerns, and elicit misapprehensions and correct them
- Break bad news
- Facilitate grieving by patients and their relatives
- Discuss psychological symptoms and distress without embarrassment
- Discuss the need for specialist psychiatric help without seeming dismissive
- Use antidepressants rationally
