The European Association for Communication in Healthcare
(EACH) is a global organisation whose mission is to promote healthcare
communication between patients, relatives and healthcare practitioners
that is effective, patient-centred and evidence-based.
Ample evidence demonstrates that effective
communication is essential to high quality clinical practice and leads to:
-
Individualised care that respects patient autonomy
-
Safer and more effective healthcare
-
Improved disease outcomes
-
More satisfied and autonomous patients
-
More efficient services
-
More cost effective care
Evidence also demonstrates that more effective healthcare communication can be taught to every healthcare provider and implemented in daily practice.
tEACH is the teaching committee of EACH, composed of more than 40 working members
representing a variety of healthcare disciplines and more than 21 different
countries. Since 2008, tEACH has developed and collected teaching, curriculum and
assessment resources, train the trainer courses, and provided support to
communication teachers throughout Europe and beyond.
