ABROAD #7b: Building your Soft Skills as a Clinician with Dr. Nicol Van Dyk
Today i spoke with Dr Nicol Van Dyk in Dublin, Ireland, on two fascinating topics - this is Part B! Nicol was so friendly and generous with his time, it was an absolute pleasure to meet him.
Nicol van Dyk is a physiotherapist and clinical researcher currently occupying the role of Injury Surveillance and Medical Research Officer with the Irish Rugby Football Union in Dublin, Ireland. In 2018 Nicol completed his PhD in Health Sciences at Ghent University, Belgium titled “Risk factors for hamstring injuries in professional football players.” During this time Nicol was a physiotherapist at the Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital.
We talk about the importance of the language we use with our patients, why these skills are so important to prioritise, especially in your early years, how to improve your listening skills and much more.
This episode was recorded live at the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) High Performance Facility, Ireland in March. I hope you enjoy!
