Supporting GPs responding to humanitarian crises: caring for people from refugee backgrounds and ourselves in uncertain times

On-demand recorded 15 Aug 2024

With global humanitarian crises impacting many in our community, it's essential to be able to respond to the psychological stress and trauma affecting our patients, our colleagues and ourselves.

Join us for an insightful discussion on trauma-informed care, where trauma may occur on a local, regional or global scale. Deepen your understanding, knowledge and skills in delivering trauma-informed, culturally safe care and explore important strategies to develop and sustain us as clinicians delivering this care day to day.

This webinar will equip you with the tools to support your patients, your colleagues and yourselves most effectively and enable you to sustain effective work in challenging times.
