Responding to Emotions in Cancer

A small group workshop for health practitioners to explore emotional reactions to cancer, learn to recognise emotions and apply frameworks to respond through practise with a simulated patient.

Delivered by two experienced facilitators, this workshop will give you the opportunity to:

• Explore emotional reactions to cancer
• Learn evidence-based techniques to confidently navigate emotional conversations
• Practice conversations with simulated patients to apply techniques
• Feel better prepared to show empathy, manage emotion, and deliver person-centred care.

Certificates for CPD will be provided upon course completion.

What our participants have said about the workshop:

"The practices were valuable. The diversity of perspectives and the ability to create different scenarios that were relevant to the different professions in the room was great."

"Practical workshop and it was a lovely and supportive environment to practice in."
