Recognising and Supporting the Psychological Needs of Patients and Carers - 6 day course

This is an exciting new training course developed by Tracey to enhance your existing skills and confidence in recognising and supporting the psychological needs of patients and carers. We will combine Psychological theory with your already existing personal skills to develop your understanding of how distress influences human behaviours, will consider how trauma manifests, and discuss how we can use that knowledge to hold patients and carers in their distress in an emotionally safe way.  

In addition to developing your psychological knowledge, during the course, we will reflect on the power of using language around illness differently. Our aim is to give you the self- confidence to work with the psychological and emotional needs of patients’, families and carers within your day to day work, and to support you in acknowledging your own limitations and self-care needs. There will be opportunities to practice these skills in a safe place, and to keep a journal of your learning experience.

Based on Level 2 NICE Guidelines, this will run on the following dates.  You must commit to attending all 6 days.

 The dates for this 6-day Course are as follows:

10th April, 17th April, 24th April, 1st May, 8th May and 4th September 2026.
