Coping with Professional Grief workshop

People working in hospices, care homes, hospitals and other care settings often experience the deaths of patients and residents where they work, but this doesn’t mean each death is easier to cope with.

Hospice UK’s Compassionate Employers programme is running workshops to help care professionals manage recurring and often overlooked experiences of grief through their work.

• Understand what professional grief is, and how it may impact an individual or workplace
• Offer guidance for supporting your team, and yourself
• Highlight support that is available

• Explain the difference between professional grief and other forms of grief
• Explain and recognise the impact of professional grief on an employee and the workplace
• Identify ways to support employees and teams who are exposed to frequent loss
• Find and signpost further support
