Opening the Spiritual Gate

Having a conversation about spiritual issues is not always easy. However, when providing holistic care, addressing spirituality is everybody’s business and all of us in health care have a role to play.

This interactive full day workshop aims to support health and social care workers to develop confidence and skills in assessing and having conversations about spiritual needs with those in their care. Throughout the day, we will offer opportunities to:

Discuss the diversity and individuality of spiritual and religious needs
Consider how to open, maintain and close a conversation about spiritual issues
Understand the importance of concise and confidential reporting and communication of spiritual needs
Consider a management plan for meeting spiritual needs
Have access to available resources to support conversations
Develop an individual action plan to apply within the workplace

This course is facilitated by the Jersey Hospice Care Education Team.

Lunch can be ordered for a £5 on the morning of the course, this includes a sandwich, fruit, crisps and a soft drink.
