Our replenishing day October 3rd is coming very soon! – ‘Repair, restore, resurge! Reclaiming human values in healthcare

Our fourth very popular HVHF annual replenishing event offers a welcoming, convivial space in a beautiful venue for all those working in health and social care. It offers opportunities to connect, converse, share stories and practical ideas, to enjoy good food, to listen to inspirational speakers, and to be restored and replenished.

In this event, we will explore the value of repair and how we can restore meaning, purpose, and even joy in our work (and lives). We will explore variants of the hopeful concept of Kintsugi – creating something new and more beautiful from what is broken.

Together we will share ideas and skills for developing and sustaining human values in professional education and work, for restoring ourselves and others, and for co-creating pathways for recovery and flourishing.

You will also have fun!

HVHF – Rehumanising Healthcare – a multidisciplinary in person event. July 15th 2023

Rehumanising Healthcare – a multidisciplinary in person event. July 15th 2023

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rehumanising-healthcare-a-multidisciplinary-event-tickets-623029376637 

This highly evaluated event provided a reflective space to allow health and care professionals from different disciplines to connect, converse and to share stories, ideas, practical skills and resources. It offered replenishment, regenerated hope, and gave an opportunity for participants to reconnect with their deeply held values and to explore ways in which they could strengthen and sustain them in their workplace. It offered a unique opportunity to step back and reflect, and collectively plot the path ahead using the well tried and tested method of appreciative inquiry combined with creative enquiry to re-imagine futures and rehumanise systems of care. The Royal Foundation of St Katherine is a quiet sanctuary close to central London – the ideal setting for offering a nurturing, restorative event.
