Communication is vital in any human interaction and is fundamental in all areas of healthcare and social care. Nursing associates must be good listeners, as this is the key to good communication. Chapter 2 in this text explores communication in great depth. Simple and concise communication with colleagues is all vital as is legible writing of patient records, handling feedback, recording, reporting and monitoring care. Nursing associates work within an interdisciplinary and multi‐agency environment. They work in teams and must be effective communicators to provide continuity of care. What’s more, because we live in a multicultural society, it is essential that patients are communicated with in a language that they understand.
