Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the main assumptions of patient-centred care, which emphasises the importance of getting to know and taking into account the patient’s perspective throughout the treatment process. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how communication skills, which are taught as part of classes in medical communication, facilitate the provision of patient-centred care. The paper discusses selected communication skills and presents fragments of students’ assignments demonstrating the practical application of the acquired skills. The studies provide examples of utterances fostering the exchange of perspectives and building of a common look at the patient’s problem and reinforcing the patient’s sense of being in the centre of care.
