Clinical work comes with rewards and challenges.

Clinicians can find themselves hearing and holding high levels of emotional distress during clinical consultations for which clinical knowledge and technical skill do not provide an easy answer.

It may feel like there is nowhere to go with these uncomfortable feelings, with the potential for negative effects on the patient, the clinicians involved, and the ultimate quality of clinical care.

The Reflective Consultation Service aims to help clinicians undertaking complex and difficult work, and provide a space to reflect on patients, processes, and themselves.
