Calling all clinicians, academics, and healthcare professionals! 📢 All craft groups, all career stages.
It’s challenging in healthcare at the moment- with many feeling a bit depleted, and disconnected. We get it. People are looking for a way to re-engage their head and heart in healthcare, to lead with courage and authenticity, to grow- and to help develop others.
If this sounds like you, then Mercy Perinatal has you covered! Here we propose a one day seminar on Saturday October 14: ‘Balancing Head & Heart in Healthcare’. Hopefully a day of encouragement, inspiration- and practical advice for all those challenges that people never tell you about- that you just figure out along the way!
We are ALL leaders. So come and join us for a day filled with practical strategies for the clinical coalface, for academic life, for managing ourselves and others- to lead with both head and heart. We think you’ll love our lineup of awe-inspiring guest speakers, including renowned experts in healthcare leadership. Hear the stories from those starting out, and those who’ve been in the leadership game for a while. They are all joining us to share their wisdom, and compassion, providing you with invaluable insights to drive your own journey of personal and professional development.
Don't miss out on this transformative event—reserve your spot now for Balancing Head & Heart in Healthcare!
