IPEP HSN proudly presents the 5th annual Interprofessional Practice Conference:

PSYCHOSOCIAL CARE IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS

The Conference is a full-day event focusing on the psychosocial care needs of patients.

As health professionals, we must be equipped to provide person centred care within collaborative, multidisciplinary teams. Encounters with the health system can be distressing and anxiety-provoking for patients and families. Clinicians must develop the skills to sensitively assess and manage emotional, as well as physical needs.

Hear from expert speakers on topics relating to holistic health practice, with a series of talks discussing the management of challenging emotional situations in healthcare. Develop your leadership skills by working with a multidisciplinary team in problem-solving and case-based scenarios.

The conference will run from 10:00am to 4:00pm, with registrations opening at 9:45am.

Collaboration starts now.

Tickets available through Eventbrite:
