Nursing Conversations 3 — Talking to Doctors & Colleagues AE

The professional language of nursing teamwork — communicating with doctors, consultants, and colleagues clearly and confidently.

Interprofessional communication in nursing

Nursing involves constant communication with a wide range of professionals — from junior doctors and consultants to physiotherapists, pharmacists, and ward managers. Being able to communicate confidently, escalate concerns appropriately, and challenge decisions professionally is a core nursing competency. This exercise practises the specific language of these interactions.
