My name is Harry. I am a student at Western University of Sydney, currently studying for a Bachelor/Diploma of Health Science. From a young age I was taught about compassion and the importance of being a kind and caring individual. These traits later influenced me to choose this course of Health Science. The page that you are currently viewing is my e-portfolio, the purpose of this e-portfolio is help develop my communication skills and expand my knowledge of communication. The e-portfolio will allow me to become more organized in my field of work. This e-portfolio will ultimately help sharpen my communication skills and will help assist me in the future as I aim to become an occupational therapist. The communication skills that I am learning in this course will allow be easily collect my thoughts and organize them into a comprehensible sentence. This will allow for better patients/career relationships. According to Dickson, D., Hargie, O., & Morrow, N. (1996). the skills will also allow me to provide a practical approach needed to implement a higher standard of care through better communication. The skills includes nonverbal communication, questioning, listening, explaining, reinforcement and assertiveness. The skills will allow me to become a better interviewer and counsellor.
