Effective Scene Communication

Clear and Calm Communication

Communicating well under pressure keeps everyone safe and ensures the best patient care.

  • Use Simple Language: Avoid jargon when talking to bystanders or patients.
  • Active Listening: Listen carefully to patient complaints and witness accounts.
  • Relay Information: Accurately pass along patient status and scene updates to EMS and other responders.

Tips for Success

Practice speaking clearly even when stressed, and always confirm that your message was understood.

Examples

  • Calmly giving updates to EMS over the radio.

  • Explaining what you're doing to a scared child during first aid.
