Beyond the Patient Record - Creative Writing as Burnout Prevention for Health Practitioners - Full Day Workshop
Dr Hilton Koppe, senior medical educator with North Coast GP Training, is presenting a burnout prevention workshop, using creative writing as the tool. The workshop will allow participants an opportunity to experience the use of stories and writing as a means of helping them to better manage some of the more challenging aspects of their working life, and to make sense of what it means to be a health practitioner. Practical writing exercises will guide participants through a series of creative tasks which assist them in reflecting on the effect their clinical practice has on their lives, with the goal of increasing their enjoyment of work, and of life in general. Most of all, it will be an opportunity for some light hearted fun with colleagues. Click here for more details
