Tasmania CPD Workshop Day
30 November 2019
Join us at Rydges Hobart in Tasmania for two interactive and immersive Workshops by leading experts on Saturday 30 November 2019 from 9:00am - 5:00pm.
Workshop 1 will be presented by Dr Victor Bray and Dr Jonette Owen, and Workshop 2 will be presented by Dr Caitlin Barr. Choose to attend one or both workshops and gain up to 6 CPD points (3 CPD points per workshop).
WORKSHOP 1
Personality Temperaments and Clinician-Patient Interactions presented by Dr Victor Bray and Dr Jonette Owen
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
WORKSHOP 2
Empathy and Self-Care Workshop presented by Dr Caitlin Barr
Empathy is widely agreed to be central in quality and efficacious health care. The way a health professional engages with and supports the emotions (of whatever kind) of their patients is crucial for outcomes. But it can come at a cost. And what about our own emotions? In many areas of healthcare research suggests that empathy and engaging in emotional conversations is one of the most challenging aspects of being a health professional. This workshop will utilise hands-on activities so attendees understand their beliefs about empathy and shame and ultimately walk away ready to live and breathe compassion in your daily work.
Learning Outcomes:
- Reflect on, and demonstrate the difference between empathy and sympathy
- Unpack unconscious beliefs about empathy and shame as an audiologist and human
- Develop strategies for implementing empathy and compassion into daily work (clinical or otherwise!)
