Learning outcomes

Students of pharmacy, from first year right through to practicing professionals, will enjoy refining their skills, learning about best-practice, and trying to achieve optimal, respectful, and effective patient counselling strategies.

Patient awaiting assistance

Patients react

Patients react to player input and help teach the value and impact of strong communication skills.

  • Rude?  The patient will get upset and become less communicative.
  • Respectful and empathetic?  The patient will open up and be more forthcoming with relevant health information.
