Effective communication between health professionals and patients has been found to be crucial and important for the overall functioning of the healthcare system. It has a positive impact on readmission rates, understanding treatment options, adherence to treatment, following the medication schedule with consistency, cost related impacts and overall positive health outcomes for patients (Nelson, 2008; Bull et al., 2002).However, health communication seems to attract little attention, especially during medical and nursing training. There is evidence that students’ communication skills deteriorate, while teaching these skills is neglected due to workload and clinical work commitments (Silverman, 2009). Apart from that, it appears that vocational training opportunities on health communication are limited. Thus, communication skills of a busy physician/nurse are often not adequately developed and the need for health professionals to become better communicators remains (Traveline et al., 2005).In an effort to cover these needs, the project will explore the shortages in training as well as the perceptions among health professionals and finally develop a comprehensive training curriculum, which will be easily replicated across the EU.The aim of this training is to build and strengthen communication skills among health professionals that will positively influence their work with both their patients and their co-workers within the health care setting. The H-Com Project targets the following groups: Vocational Education and Training providers Vocational Education and Training policy makers In addition to the above mentioned core target groups, medical schools and universities, health organizations and networks, medical associations, health care providers, and other end-users (self-employed, NGOs) will have the opportunity to be informed, consulted and/or trained through the project. Furthermore, Ministries of Health and Education, across the EU will be informed about the project during its lifetime. The project will also target media specialized in medical issues, such as journals, medical websites and blogs, as channels for further dissemination and awareness purposes among its main target groups. The kick off meeting of the H-COM project took place in Lotz, Poland, on 12-13 November 2015. Representatives from all consortium members met in NIOM’s headquarters and discussed about the general overview of the project, financial and organisational issues.
