About This The Winning Consultation Session
The Winning Consultation streams live online on November 22, 2026. The training day consists of interactive lectures combined with case-based discussions and audience Q&A.
This lecture explores the core elements of an effective patient consultation, including evidence-based communication models, strategic question sequencing, active listening techniques, and methods for establishing trust early in the encounter.
