As Communicators, physiotherapists form therapeutic alliances with clients that facilitate the gathering and sharing of essential information for effective health care and health promotion to optimise management and outcomes.
Physiotherapists enable client-centred communication by actively listening to the client’s experience of their health-related issues and goals. Central to a client-centred approach is shared decision-making: finding common ground with the client in developing a plan to address their health goals in a manner that reflects the client’s needs, values, preferences and lifestyle.
In this eTalk, a panel of experts provide practical advice and ideas on how to communicate respectfully with people who identify as LGBTQIA+.
