Trauma-Informed Practice: Understanding how psychological trauma can improve leadership, patient outcomes and prevent burnout (FD11MAR26)

Using a combination of personal lived experience, clinical experience and academic knowledge, I share how using a Trauma-Lens will change how you work for the better.

These principles are not (yet!) taught at medical school but are critical to health & wellbeing - and are not hard to learn. You just need curiosity and time to attend.

There is no need to prepare anything, but thinking about clinical cases or trainees/mentees which have provided challenge can be helpful. We can use these to discuss and apply principles during the day long training.

The purpose of the follow up call is to discuss cases where you have begun to use the principles learnt in the day long training.
