[WS2-16] Cultural Considerations in Communication for Teaching and Training
Thu. May 16, 2019 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM Room 9 (2F Room I)
Organizer: Maham Stanyon(Imperial College London, UK)

Giving constructive feedback is an essential part of teaching and training. In an increasingly globalised world, with events such as the Tokyo Olympic Games approaching, working with international colleagues and giving culturally competent feedback is becoming a necessity.
This workshop is a joint UK-Japan collaborative initiative to explore cultural considerations in feedback communication in Primary Care. Suitable for all levels in training and delivered in English, this workshop uses active learning and facilitated discussion with active participation encouraged but not mandatory.
The workshop aims to give participants:
• An appreciation of how communication and behaviours may vary between cultures in a clinical setting
• An understanding and chance to apply socio-cultural frameworks including Lewis’ behavioural dimensions framework and Hall’s theory of high and low context communication to feedback scenarios
• An opportunity to reflect on the impact of giving/being given feedback/behaving in a style that is different to your preferred style
• A chance to reflect on how understanding cultural influences in communication may improve inter-cultural collaboration in primary care
We hope to be able to use our experience of the UK and Japan to compare and contrast two very different cultures to deliver an inclusive and thought-provoking workshop.
