English Support for Nurses
Communication in Professional Practice
Through my extensive experience working with nurses from differing cultural backgrounds, including clinical and academic teaching at University and TAFE. I’m able to support nurses to communicate with clarity, confidence and understanding in everyday professional settings. I also, have completed a TESOL Diploma (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) which includes IELTS (International English Testing System) qualifications.
This program supports nurses in building confidence in professional communication while helping you to develop awareness of thinking and the voice behind your practice. Through practical communication exercises and reflective learning, nurses are invited to explore how language and everyday interactions shape the way you work with others.

How does the program work?
This is an individualised learning plan that focuses on a practical approach. There is an initial consultation to identify individual learning requirements. The session will cover the program structure, meeting times and the length of sessions will also be discussed. A preliminary plan for approval will then be forwarded, and if required, adjustments will be made. Once the structure is approved the sessions will then begin at the mutually agreed- upon times
