Considering the impact on healthcare professionals when a child dies

This is a new workshop for all health professionals whose work brings them into contact with families who are grieving after the death of a child or who may be facing the death of a child.

When your work brings you into contact with child death, it is impossible not to be affected. As a professional it may often feel difficult to hold the professional boundaries in place. We are pleased to announce this new workshop, which aims to provide an opportunity to reflect on the impact this work has on you.

Learning outcomes-

• explore and develop self-awareness in relation to loss, grief and bereavement
• update on child death statistics and data
• recognise physical and emotional reactions to grief
• consider what could be put in place for you to feel better supported
• consider ways of taking care of yourself
• take part in a group reflective practice session
• gain information about Child Bereavement UK, other similar support organisations and resources available.

£60 per delegate, thanks to bursary funding received. Fees for participants include course materials, a CPD certificate of attendance, refreshments and light lunch.
