Meeting Description: 

Effective health communication is more essential than ever during the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic. Ever-changing information, conflicting views and advice,
and uncertainty and anxiety among the world’s populations have challenged many
well-established and effective health communication practices. Medical and
healthcare professionals face the daily reality of difficult conversations
about death and dying, the need to establish rapport with patients and
families remotely, and significant burnout, among other challenges.
Communication with chronically ill patients and those with acute diseases
other than COVID-19 is also disrupted due to widespread restrictions on access
to medical facilities and services. Medical educators confront new challenges
in providing students with practical exposure in live clinical contexts to
achieve graduate competencies. Some medical students were fast-tracked to
graduation to join the frontline in this unprecedented fight. These are just a
sample of the many issues brought to the fore by the pandemic. Meanwhile,
other critical issues related to effective health communication existed
pre-pandemic remain.

HKU Research and Impact Initiative on Communication in Healthcare (HKU RIICH)
invites you to join us at the 3rd International E-Symposium on Communication
in Health Care (co-organised by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore)
that will engage with critical issues in health communication pre-, during and
post- COVID-19. This two-day event brings together international academics and
practitioners from across relevant disciplines of health communication,
linguistics, social sciences, medical education, and medicine to share their
ongoing research and practical insights in a collaborative effort to address
the challenges of health communication in the current times, and lessons going
forward.
