Effective communication skills are essential for Australian General Practitioners in providing quality healthcare services to their patients. They are recognised as such by RACGP who have listed them as one of the key domains in their syllabus, domain 1 - Communication skills and the patient-doctor relationship and as Core standard 1 in the RACGP standards for general practices. Communication skills are also part of the Australian Medical Associations 10 minimum standards for medical practice. Communication skills refer to the ability to exchange information, ideas, and thoughts effectively with others. Effective communication is crucial in the medical profession, as it can have a significant impact on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients' health conditions. Avant has researched claims and complaints made against doctors and found that 1 in 4 claims has a communication element. Therefore, it is important for doctors in Australia to possess basic communication skills that enable them to communicate effectively with their patients, their families, and other healthcare professionals.
