This masterclass is a highly interactive and effective workshop to help improve your confidence in handling complaints. A simple model to facilitate effective responses will be shared and you will have the opportunity to practise the use of our unique AERO approach.
During this course, you will develop the skills and confidence to explore perspective, seek to understand the root and true cause of the patients’ concerns (the complaint ‘iceberg’). Using case studies and peer group discussion, the session will introduce resolution techniques to empower teams to increase the chances of achieving a resolution with less detrimental impact on their own and the practice team’s wellbeing. Underpinning the learning is real complaint insight from the primary healthcare sector, and experience in using mediation techniques to achieve a clearer understanding of the complaint, why the situation escalated and seek resolution.
This course will also incorporate insights on private healthcare complaints and the influence of insurance and payment terms.
