Testimonials
Thanks for your lead on delivering the session, I must admit I was not expecting it, but thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fun, building teamwork, flattening hierarchy and informative with different styles of communication to deal with difficult situations.
Listening exercises. So useful – quick illustrations that panicing or shame stops you listening. Just so illuminating. Its positivity and gratefulness meant it was a joy to be part of.
The feedback/debrief at the end of each game about how it applies to us is really helpful/thoughtful.
I’m a coach and use improv approaches in my work (one-to-one and training). Very useful to me as a refresher of some techniques I’ve used and as introduction to new ones. Thank you.
Prompted me to reflect about my own communication. Helped me think about communication in a wider perspective.
Listening exercises. So useful – quick illustrations that panicing or shame stops you listening. Just so illuminating. Its positivity and gratefulness meant it was a joy to be part of.
A unique and refreshing way to learn comm skills.
The planned 5min one to one debriefs immediately after an exercise or exercises were very important – helped me to reflect on the relevance of the exercise and link to working life and what i regularly teach about.
Excellent stuff learnt. Especially about my own self. It’s taught me to slow down and take things more slowly.
It was an interesting and engaging session. It was practical and was relatable to my day to practice.
This was a really great session, I would absolutely love for Esther to do a follow-on session. The “games” were a real insight into team working and also the status/power dynamics in consultations, very enlightening, I really got a lot out of the session, thank you.
Very enlightening and interesting way to reflect on my daily work and what I can do to change/improve myself further.
The best experiential learning I have ever had. Uplifting, inspirational, humbling, fun. Think it will make me a better doctor and a better person.
What is Medical Improvisation?
Medical Improvisation (Improv) uses the tools and techniques used to train improv performers, and applies them to medical training to enhance the attitudes and behaviours leading to improved communication, listening, emotional intelligence, and teamwork amongst healthcare professionals.
Medical Improv uses a toolkit of experiential exercises to examine the attitudes, mind-sets and behaviours that enhance effective teamwork, collaboration and communication within a healthcare setting.
For the last few years, we have been developing a programme of advanced communication training for healthcare professionals of all areas and qualification level, including doctors, nurses, carers, receptionists and many others.
