Boundaries serve as a fundamental aspect of professional conduct, ensuring safety in interactions with both patients and colleagues while also promoting clinician wellbeing. This interactive course delves into the significance of boundaries in clinical practice, shedding light on common scenarios where boundaries may deteriorate and challenges can arise.
Through a blend of guided learning, small group discussions, and case examinations, participants will explore:
- The societal shifts that exert pressure on professional boundaries.
- The various boundaries required to uphold safety and well-being, encompassing emotional, physical, mental, social, and sexual aspects.
- The spectrum of risks associated with boundaries.
- Distinctions between boundary crossings and violations, as well as the impact of transference.
- Regulatory guidelines pertaining to boundaries, covering personal beliefs, conflicts of interest, social media usage, acceptance of gifts, sexual misconduct, and treatment of friends and family.
By the course’s conclusion, participants will grasp their professional obligations in this realm and be adept at recognising early indicators of boundary breaches. They will depart equipped to formulate a personalised approach for defining, communicating, safeguarding, and upholding professional boundaries.
This course has been accredited by The Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK for 5 CPD credits.
