This conference will surprise, confront, and enhance your understanding of professional boundaries.
For over 20 years, Dr McIntosh has been supporting health professionals who have faced complaints for transgressing professional boundaries. The transgression may have involved patients or colleagues.
Professional boundaries are a highly technical interpersonal element between nurses (health professionals) and patients. The intimacy that occurs in the physical, psychological, and emotional space of patient care requires nurses to be constantly aware of their interactions, use of touch, and speech content.
During this conference, you will gain insights into the ease with which transgressions can occur and the costs (emotionally, psychologically, professionally, and financially) that a nurse (or health professional) is left with when a complaint is made against them.
Throughout the conference, you will be given several strategies that you can integrate into your practice to ensure the safety of your patients, colleagues, and yourself is maintained through professional boundaries.
