Case study:  Bespoke Communications Skills Training for an International Cohort of Scientists

FBA partnered with a medical society to provide leadership training for their up-and-coming scientists.  These are the leaders identified to hold senior positions in the medical society in the future. Each cohort comprises 16-20 scientists. 

This programme has run for the past 6 years and has been delivered in person and – during the pandemic – virtually.

Training consisted of a variety of key communications skills including:

Communications skills essentials

Media training

On-camera skills (presenting on camera)

Presentation skills

Storytelling for science.

Thank you for this feedback – it was really very essential for me not only for the media or journalists but also for speaking with patients. I learned a lot and I hope that patients with me will see the progress
