Take some time out to look after yourself and get some more tools to help others.
Stress, frustration, anxiety are common amongst health practitioners and patients alike. This can
create poor practitioner-patient interactions and relationships which reduces the impact of an
effective consultation.
Attitudes, beliefs and emotions can be managed but we often require a change of thinking to
achieve this. To assist in behavioural change for both health practitioners and patients, HINT draws
on the collective 42 years of experience of Dr Tom Mulholland and Barbara Docherty through their
Healthy Thinking/TADs/BOI training approach.
This approach offers you conversational tools you can use with your patients, your family and
colleagues. The 2 day interactive workshop will give you:
 An introduction to TADS/BOI training – how to change your language to transform your
consultations
 Identification of patient drivers and barriers in behavioural contexts
 Common triggers and beliefs around stress, anxiety and performance
 How to identify and manage your own thoughts, beliefs, emotions, attitudes and behaviours
 Tools to improve attitudes, behaviours in the practitioner-patient relationship
