Free healthcare staff training workshop

OVERVIEW: Around 10% of hospital inpatient admissions involve an adverse event. In addition to the suffering these can cause patients and their families, healthcare professionals often experience significant distress. This workshop prepares healthcare professionals for these events: equipping participants with the practical and psychological tools to understand, learn and move forwards.

TAILORED: Each workshop is closely tailored to the specific events that individual professional groups are likely to experience in their work.
