Have You Seen the Patient?
Using reflective writing as a platform, explore what it is to “see” your patient, as a care provider, team member, and as a human being. Have a conversation with yourself and each other about the rich nature of patient-centred collaborative work.

There is no fee for participation in each workshop, but a firm commitment once registered is expected. Please advise well in advance if you’re unable to attend, as these workshops generally have a wait-list. Inter-professional practitioners are welcome, space permitting.
