Time	Content	Speaker
	Workshop 1: Personality Temperaments and Clinician-Patient Interactions 0830 - 1145
0830 - 1000	Personality Temperaments and Clinician-Patient Interactions Clinician/patient as well as clinician/clinician interactions can be rewarding or frustrating, collegial or confrontational, straight-forward or circular. Why? Sometimes it is not about the objective information on which there may be agreement, but the personality interactions and subjective interpretations among individuals. This workshop will explore how personality can impact patient care and collaborative care. The model used will be the four Keirsey personality temperaments of Artisan (SP, focus on tactics), Guardian (SJ, focus on logistics), Idealists (NF, focus on diplomacy), and Rationals (NT, focus on strategy). In this interactive workshop, participants will self-determine their temperament, be grouped by temperament types and the discussion will continue as the participants assume the role of both clinician and patient within their own types. Exercises will then be conducted across types to demonstrate potential conflicts, resolution barriers, and ways to defuse conflict through understanding of the different temperaments. Learning Outcomes: Classify different personality types into the four Kiersey Temperaments of Artisan, Guardian, Idealist, and Rational Recognize the positive and negative aspects of interpersonal interactions that can occur among the four Kiersey Temperaments Apply Kiersey Temperament information in clinical situations to improve clinician-patient interactions	Dr Victor Bray and Dr Jonette Owen

	Workshop 2: Dementia Awareness for Audiologists 1230 - 1545
1230 - 1400	Dementia Awareness for Audiologists Dementia and hearing loss are both prevalent among older adults, and dementia awareness is vital for audiologists who work with older adults. This workshop focuses on the impact, prevalence and types of dementia. The workshop will provide insight into the importance of seeing the whole person rather than the dementia. Audiologists play a vital role in facilitating communication, recognising behaviour as communication, and helping family and clinical team members to have a person centred understanding of behaviour that challenges. Learning Outcomes: Awareness of types, characteristics and prevalence of dementia Understand the patient perspective; person-centred care	Dr Piers Dawes
