The International Research Centre for Communication in Healthcare (IRCCH) was established in response to the now irrefutable evidence that communication is central to effective and safe healthcare delivery.
IRCCH is a world-class, collaborative health communication research and training hub where internationally recognized and multidisciplinary healthcare professionals and communication experts work together, translating research to education and practice. By bridging the divide between academic and practitioner worlds, IRCCH contributes directly to improvements in healthcare provision and patient safety – enhancing the quality of healthcare delivery and reducing the number of critical incidents caused through communication breakdowns.
