We've announced dates for our latest virtual courses, both of which focus on effectively managing and resolving conflict.

Whether it's because of a breakdown in communication and trust, or increased expectations and demand from patients, medicine is an environment in which conflict can easily arise. The impact on all those involved in terms of time and emotion can be enormous, and disputes can significantly affect the experiences and outcomes on all sides.

Understanding how and why conflicts can come about and what can be done to manage them is therefore a crucial skill for all healthcare professionals - and this is where our virtual courses can help.
