‘I’m sorry, we need answers here now.’ And I don’t go away until we get them, whether it’s a phone conversation or I’m standing in the doctor’s office. 

 

 

Would you like to learn to have the gumption to say this? You can by attending the National Family Caregivers Association’s FREE TeleClass series entitled Communicating Effectively with Healthcare Professionals.

 

Where:                On Your Computer and Phone

When:                       November 6th and 13th

                               2PM – 3PM Eastern Time

 

 

Topics covered in the TeleClass include:

 

  • Understanding our healthcare “system” and the family caregiver’s role as a member of their loved one’s healthcare team
  • The basics of good communication and how to apply them in healthcare settings
  • “How to” information from planning for a doctor’s office visit, how to best report symptoms during a crisis, and what you need to know when going to the Emergency Room.
