Constructive and effective feedback

We all need feedback to help us improve. As a health professional you will have colleagues and team members working at your health facility and in your community. If a member of your team does something well you will want to praise and reward them, but if they are performing poorly you should let them know so they can improve. Try to be specific. People generally want to know about their performance but giving negative feedback can be difficult – you don't want to hurt feelings or cause offense.
