A high level of communicative skills are essential and expected for health care workers. Take Care is designed to give readers the strategies and tools to build, maintain, and repair communication within interactions that take place in health care settings. It is designed for students who are enrolled in health care training as well as nurses or health care workers who are already on the job but may want to improve their English. This text is designed to provide readers with a firm grasp of verbal and non-verbal communication strategies for more successful interactions. It will also help readers develop strategic competence by asking them to practice formulaic phrases needed to get things done. Carefully selected situations will also help readers to understand some of the social situations health care workers need to prepare for, such as apologizing, expressing condolences, or giving advice.

Take Care breaks each unit into the following sections to teach readers new skills:

Listening for Language
Dialogue
Vocabulary
Communication Strategy
Pronunciation
Dialogue Review
Role Plays
End-of-Unit Discussion
Culture Point

This revised edition is updated to include information about pandemics, vaccines, and other medical developments. Audio files for the listening activities are available online.

Industry Reviews

The design of language-based exercises with clear guidelines ensures that this book will appeal to ENP (English for Nursing Purposes) instructors from non-nursing backgrounds. It has the potential to build instructors' confidence in teaching cross-field knowledge, which is using English language in healthcare communication. . . It breaks the myth that nursing English is always academic, complicated, and deep. The book makes English for nurses easy to access and understand." - Sunshine State TESOL Journal, Ya-Yu Cloudia Ho, Kainan University in Taiwan
