Upcoming Events & Workshops
The psychological toolkit - for non-psychologists.
Those of us who are trained to manage physical problems have a sound knowledge of what helps in our area of expertise. What we find in the day to day of our work is that physical and psychological problems are inevitably intertwined, and often we lack the skills to manage these issues.
The patient who attends with a physical problem may have a significant underlying level of psychological distress. Even when a consultation is directed at a physical problem, we may find that psychological issues interfere with best practice.
This workshop is for those of us who don’t wish to offer psychological treatment, yet would benefit from the wisdom of the psychological world to help our patients achieve better outcomes as well as increasing our own work satisfaction.
Preventing Burnout
DESCRIPTION
This workshop will provide you with the ability to recognise symptoms of burnout, and develop pracitical, helpful strategies to promote engagement. We will review the sources of stress, and develop strategies to manage the various contributing factors, including those which arise from the mismatch between our circumstances and our individual personality style.
We will explore the cultural, situational and personal factors which lead to stress and burnout. As there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution, participants will have the opportunity to engage in fact-finding and problem-solving exercises to develop their personalised management plan. We draw from the findings of Positive Psychology and temperament research, working to engage and enhance personal resilience and facilitate living well.
