Patient Counseling Skills Development Workshop

The Patient Counseling Skills Development Workshop was organized by Guru Nanak College of Pharmaceutical Sciences to enhance students’ ability to provide effective and compassionate patient care. The workshop focused on developing essential skills such as clear communication, active listening, medication guidance, adherence counseling, empathy, confidentiality, and patient education. Experienced faculty members and healthcare professionals shared practical strategies for counseling patients on proper drug usage, dosage instructions, potential side effects, lifestyle modifications, and safe medication practices. Interactive role-plays, case-based discussions, and simulated counseling sessions strengthened participants’ confidence, clarity, and professional demeanor. The program successfully empowered pharmacy students to deliver patient-centered care with accuracy, empathy, and a strong sense of professional responsibility.
