I took the 'Communication Skills in Palliative Care' course at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a great experience. The course was pretty cool, and I liked how it covered a lot of real-life scenarios that I can use in my job as a nurse. I learned some really useful skills, like how to communicate bad news to patients and their families, and how to deal with difficult emotions. The course materials were pretty good, but I thought some of the videos could be more engaging. Still, I'd definitely recommend the course to anyone who wants to improve their communication skills in healthcare.
