Benefits

Direct benefits

Through conducting surveys and interviews with students and head officers of NUH, we were able to find out the lack of oral communication skill training among newly inducted nurses and doctors. Besides, via the interview with vice dean of NUS medical school, we were able to find out the feasibility of incorporating relevant oral communication skill training into curriculum. Hence, this proposal serves as an indicator for the importance of oral communication skill between doctors and nurses and further research on the issue of introducing oral communication training into NUS curriculum.

Indirect benefits

With introduction of oral communication skill courses into current curriculum, there are mainly two benefits.

Firstly, both secondary resources and our first-hand interviews suggested that oral communication between doctors and nurses plays a vital role in the quality healthcare of patients. Without effective communication between doctors and nurses, it will hinder effective collaboration between them and thus influence patients’ healthcare negatively. By introducing proper oral communication skill training between doctors and nurses into NUS current curriculum, it will provide nursing and medical school students with opportunities to interact with each other and improve effective oral communication skills. Hence, newly inducted nurses and doctors will be familiarized with oral communication skills and do not have to pick up by themselves at workplaces. The better communication between doctors and nurses will lead to smoother collaboration and thus improve the healthcare of patients.

Secondly, with the frequent interactions between students from nursing and medical schools, future nurses and doctors can have a better understanding of what the roles and duties of the other party has as well as the potential difficulties existing between them. Hence, when they go to workplaces, confusions and conflicts can be minimized. At the same time, it may also be helpful to improve the relation between doctors and nurses.
