This lunchtime learning seminar brought to you by Yorkshire and Rural Teaching Partnership and University of York promotes communication and knowledge sharing between academics and social work and social care professionals.
This lunchtime seminar will provide the opportunity to reflect on both your personal and professional self-care, discuss the role of organisations in promoting self-care and celebrating achievement in the workplace. We will also introduce ‘Schwartz Rounds’, a group reflective forum for discussing the emotional impact of our work. Attendance will provide evidence of Peer Reflection for your Social Work England CPD record.
