Verbal communication is talking to someone and giving them information and also retaining information. Furthermore verbal communication is very important in a health and social care setting because it allows care workers and service users interact with each other face to face.

Approaching the task of having to communicate with your customers to affectively resolve their problem can be a difficult task, therefore using various negotiation techniques in the process will be very important. Before anyone would contact a customer regarding their problem, you would always need to know what has to be achieved in the long run of the discussion, as you will effectively be working towards what’s best for their service whilst it being beneficial towards both customer and the organisation.

Listening carefully is one of the most crucial aspects of negotiation, as you must be able to offer new products and services whilst communicating with customers, which can be proven to be quite the task itself, therefore you would always have to be alert and listen very carefully to their needs in order to offer them the correct product or service for their need.
Verbal communication is used in a health care to really communicate and build strong relationships with staff and patients. Verbal communication can be formal and informal depending on your relationship with the patient, such as when speaking to a patient you will have a formal way of communicating with them. If you were speaking to an old friend you would speak in an informal manner. If you were going for a job interview you would be very formal in the way you speak. Verbal communication can have many positive and negative effects. Having verbal communication with patients can help them understand and connect with their doctor or nurse. It can also give the patient a chance to ask any questions or queries they may have. These conversations can be done in private and is one of the quickest ways of giving information immediately.

If a patient misunderstands what is communicated to them it can lead to many issues, such as the patient not taking medications as directed or patients saying things

In the ten factors of communication, I believe that disability should be included since it involves people with speech, hearing, or physical impairments. Disabilities relies heavily on communication that is non-verbal such as sign language or simply, touch. With family members diagnosed with autism and down syndrome, I understand the challenges in communicating that include attention span and enunciation. I feel that no factors of the ten should be removed because they all affect the way that a person communicates.
