Sandy Teal
Sandy supports doctors in postgraduate training to identify the areas of skills development that they would benefit from exploring. Sandy uses a Short Sensory Questionnaire to identify any sensory difficulties and asks doctorss to complete a baseline on interpersonal/communication skills.
This provides an opportunity to look at how the doctor is functioning socially, with a variety of people, while highlighting the doctor’s strengths, and where they are being successful, but also areas where the doctor could benefit from some teaching.
