Doctors and nurses must be sensitive to the ethical aspects of their work and understand the legal framework within which clinical decisions are made.  Well developed skills of communication, with patients, their relatives and other members of the clinical team, are a key feature of good clinical practice  Until recently, the\n\u003cbr\u003eimportant of practice skills has been relatively neglected in health care education.  This situation is changing.  The UK General Medical Council, for example, has recently identified three aspects as part\n\u003cbr\u003eof the core of the medical course, and the move to degree courses in nursing has led to an increasing focus of practice skills in nurse education.  The Oxford Practice Skills Project (OPSP) team have developed a course, within the University of Oxford Clinical School, which covers the teaching of practice skills in an integrated manner.  This course is widely recognized as one of the most systematic developments of education in these areas.  This\n\u003cbr\u003emanual describes the OPSP course in detail and provides teaching materials.  Although developed initially for medical students, it should be helpful to all those involved in teaching ethics, communication\n\u003cbr\u003eskills, and law in health care.  Each Seminar is described in detail  Tutors' guides are provided  Student handouts are included  Contains guidelines for introducing 'practice skills' into a busy clinical curriculum  Includes over forty case histories for teaching and examination  Gives details of many useful sources and resources  Details a\n\u003cbr\u003evariety of teaching methods together with their advantages and disadvantages  Provides an ethics teaching toolkit for clinical teachers new to this area \n\u003cbr\u003eReaders are welcome to photocopy any part of this manual for their own teaching\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156704325870,"sku":"9780192627544","price":195.55,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780192627544.jpg?v=1706240949","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/oxford-practice-skills-course-manual","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
