Student Achievement
13 July
Damascus VET Allied Health students have been exploring the various ways we communicate, and the positive and negative impacts our chosen communication methods can have, whether intended or not.
In healthcare, positive communication is a key foundation to patient care. VET students discovered that while it might seem simple enough, feeding another person, it takes patience and good communication skills.
Whilst there were some laughs had throughout the process, students quickly realised that an approach of 'open up' and 'here it is' didn't quite achieve the intended goal.
Students showed excellent persistence and resilience as they tried to feed a client, who was not able to assist, a fruit snack.
