Workshop on Developing Resilience in Managing Challenging Clinical Situation

This workshop explores the meaning of well-being for health care workers, their teams, patients and families. In order to develop and strengthen our resilience we need to understand how our wellbeing is impacted in different situations by the pressures and responsibilities of being a healthcare worker.

This workshop explores ways in which we can strengthen our own wellbeing in order to provide excellent/optimum care for patients and families. We explore what we can do to support our own well-being and that of our patients and families and understand that making a commitment to maintain our own well-being is core to developing the resilience needed to work in palliative care. provide high quality care.
