The new blended learning ACST Model for senior healthcare professionals
Facilitator: Kate Binnie
This course is for healthcare professionals and therapists interested in broadening their skill set and developing a practical holistic approach to helping patients with common and difficult system “clusters” that are acknowledged to be bi-directionally affected by emotion and suffering (e.g. breathlessness-anxiety & pain-depression-fatigue).
Whatever our profession or job role we have a responsibility to offer spiritual care to our patients. But what does this mean in the current health climate? How can we do this to the best of our ability along with the other competing demands on our time?
