Establishing good working relationships and supporting each other is important in healthcare to ensure that the behaviours and emotions of team members are not adversely affecting others [1].

This is especially true in the transition from student to a qualified healthcare professional which is often a challenging time [2].

This session will explore personal and professional development and the limitations healthcare professionals may face in their role. In addition, it will help you to identify ways to develop the skills and knowledge to ensure effective practice is achievable.
