SubjectSuppoRTT (Supported Return to Training)
DescriptionThe course is a half day online interactive workshop, led by experienced GP and educator Dr Martin Billington. The time will compromise of brief information-giving talks, small group and pairs work in break out rooms, and wider group discussions. There will be no pressure to disclose personal experiences, but the facilitator will create a safe environment where it is hoped attendees will feel comfortable to share their own stories, certainly within small groups. The session will examine and describe healthy and unhealthy perfectionism traits within healthcare, their benefits and costs and approaches to identifying and addressing the less helpful traits in ourselves.
