Course Review

Why take the course?

“Think of this module as your essential vaccination. Teamwork, managing conflict and self-care might sound like the “fluffy” non-essential side of paediatric palliative medicine and the module with topics that you most want to avoid. I’d encourage you to pause and sign up, since the “how to” in these essential areas is key. The hard truth remains that if you don’t care for yourself you cannot care for others. If you insist on working in silos your patient outcomes will likely suffer and if you don’t foster trusting respectful relationships with patients, families and colleagues then both professional and personal relationships will likely disintegrate! This module will give you practical and helpful tips and will provide a foundation for patient centred care which is truly about the human being in front of you and the human being within you. Be brave – this course is the foundation for putting the health back into healthcare.”
