A capacity for genuine compassion is one of the driving forces behind many healthcare professionals. Yet the nurture and sustainability in well-motivated individuals remains deeply challenging amidst complex demands of modern healthcare. This course will be suitable for health and social care professionals who wish to deepen their understanding of the complexities of the concept of compassion.

This study day is aimed at nurses, doctors, complimentary therapists, chaplains, counsellors, social workers, psychologists and others working in palliative, end-of-life, or bereavement care.
