Mindful Medicine

Practicing medicine is becoming increasing difficult. Disease complexity, resource limitations and higher patient expectations are but a few of the reasons for the unprecedented burnout rates.

What would it be like to work in an environment that promotes quality care, quality of caring and wellbeing for health care professionals?

Join us for an intensive 3-day workshop designed to equip participants with skills to improve the quality of care they provide patients while nourishing their own wellbeing.

Using a variety of teaching methods including appreciative inquiry, narrative medicine and insight dialogue, the workshop covers topics such as how health care professionals think, making mistakes, conflict, self-compassion, work-related distress and working with intent.

Dr Kendall Crossen is a Paediatrician at Tauranga Hospital who specialises in adolescent health. Dr Jeremy Rossaak is a General Surgeon at Tauranga Hospital who specialises in pancreatic surgery. Brigitte Eastwood is the Inpatient Physiotherapy Team Leader at Tauranga with an advanced skill set in paediatric and respiratory physiotherapy.

What people are saying about the workshop:

An essential toolkit for a satisfying life and career in Medicine. Highly recommended. GP Your days will be full of meaningful activities, and the tutors are amazing. You will enjoy the beautiful environment and be enlightened. Highly recommended. Nurse I thought I would try it (workshop) because it was run by SMOs. I thought they would understand my challenges and they wouldn’t be “airy fairy”. I was right. I do not regret it. I strongly recommend this course. SMO
