Why recognising and managing conflict between families and health professionals’ matters
CHA Leading Thinkers
Understanding and managing conflict in paediatric healthcare setting is just as important as clinical expertise. However, many health and social care professionals have not received any formal training to help them deal with these difficult and complex situations. In this web conference, Sarah Barclay and Dr Esse Menson from MMF will talk about why recognising and treating the symptoms of conflict matters just as much as recognising and treating clinical symptoms. Currently on a teaching visit to Starship Children’s Hospital in Auckland, they’ll be joined by Dr Louise Webster, a child psychiatrist and paediatrician who has been instrumental in bringing the MMF Conflict Management Program to Starship and will talk about the impact it has had.
