We are both practising clinicians who experience the ups and downs of front-line healthcare on a daily basis. These tools and techniques are how we stay afloat. This workshop is an uplifting personal development opportunity. You will find it insightful and fun and come away with your own resilience toolkit.

We look forward to working with you.
