MDDUS MEMBERS can now access our new video module on the importance of assertiveness skills in effective risk management.
Studies of how people behave and operate within a system and subsequent impacts on risk and quality of service - known as human factors - often draw a link between effective communication and safe provision of service. This video focuses on a specific area of communication - assertiveness.
Assertiveness is a key skill in communication and a lack of assertiveness skills can contribute to adverse incidents. This video explores what we mean by assertiveness and provides some practical examples and familiar scenarios to illustrate the theory.
