“Gain an understanding of the impact of the clinician’s values and thoughts when supporting families”
Course Content
When caring for families, the clinician must be aware of their own thoughts, beliefs and values which may impact upon their ability to provide impartial care. Although it is a necessary skill, it takes great expertise to be able to step back and discern how your own biases are affecting your judgement.
