Ethics – Staying on the Right Side of Complaints with Trish Purnell-Webb

About

One of the most stressful situations a health professional can find themselves in is dealing with a professional complaint through our state authority and/or professional body. Tens of thousands of notifications about psychologists, social workers, counsellors and psychotherapists are made every year across Australia. This workshop will explore the most common notifications made about health professionals offering sex therapy as part of their services. The workshop will be interactive and illustrated with case studies. Tips for protecting your practice will be offered.
