The Pam McLean Cancer Communications Centre teaches health professionals to communicate effectively and compassionately with patients and fellow practitioners.

Patients, health professionals, and researchers all agree that good communication between health practitioner and patient is of prime importance when faced with diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Most patients wish to understand as much as possible, yet the issues are often complex, and health professionals vary in their natural ability to communicate.

Services include workshops designed to provide safe learning environments for health professionals mostly working in the field of cancer. Participants explore options, work from evidence available within the situation, and extend their repertoire of communication skills. Workshops are available "off the rack," or tailor-made with your specific needs in mind. Existing programs may be adapted to your situation, or we can collaborate in producing new programs.  Training is provided in a number of creative formats and of varying duration. PMCCC offers workshops on a growing number of topics. PMCCC work collaboratively with a wide range of clients across the health professions.
