Communicator

As communicators, psychiatrists communicate effectively with a range of patients, carers, multidisciplinary teams, general practitioners, colleagues and other health professionals, using their interpersonal skills for the improvement of patient outcomes. Communication skills range from the ability to provide clear, accurate, contextually appropriate written communication about patients’ conditions, to being able to enter into dialogue about psychiatric issues with the wider community.
