O'Boyle, Ciaran Shannon, William McGee, Hannah Bury, Gerard Communication skills training in undergraduate medicine. <p>Good communication with patients is now recognised as the cornerstone in effective medical practice. Medical students do not automatically acquire the art of good communication through clinical training.
