General description English for Health Sciences is a course for future physiotherapists who need to communicate with patients in English. The course focuses on the language and communication skills that physiotherapists need to make consultations more effective.

It also provides ample opportunities for students to build awareness and practice the language in simulated and real-life scenarios. To this end, this course teaches learners how to handle a range of situations such as receiving the patient, taking a patient history, examining a patient and describing treatment options, etc.

Its integrated communicative skills approach develops the student's self-confidence to survive and succeed in professional encounters within an English-speaking global community.
