Our guest for this episode is Lynne Innes. Lynne is a Nurse, Healthcare Chaplain and Educator working in NHS Fife and NHS Education for Scotland. Lynne is also the host for the excellent NES Talking about Bereavement Podcast .
In this episode Lynne and Elaine consider the impact of who we are on how we work and vice versa, discussing:
- Why it’s important to consider the person at the heart of the Practitioner
- What is Spiritual Care (clue: it’s not to do with religion)
- Who can access it and how
- What is Values Based Reflective Practice (VBPR)
- How can VBRP be used to benefit the individual and the team
And lots, lots more!
