Working Sustainably & Ethically with Clients in Contemporary Dietetic Practice
ONLINE
Sept 19th-20th 2024 9am – 1.30pm AEST
Workshop Facilitator: Tara MacGregor PACFA Reg Clinical & APD
About the Workshop

The scope of Dietetics is changing as the profession becomes more engaged in looking beyond the science of nutrition to work motivationally & behaviourally with clients. The role of professional boundaries (PBs) in assuring quality care, are becoming more important than ever in this evolving workplace. This workshop will facilitate the exploration of a variety of issues that can challenge a Dietitian’s PBs when working with clients experiencing complex issues in contemporary practice such as disordered eating, poor mental health and chronic multimorbidity. These challenges can include •confidentiality •session time management •out of hours contacts •social media •dual relationships •assisting highly distressed or seriously ill clients •being mindful of the line between eating behaviour counselling and more broadly focused therapy. Through discussion, case review, reflection & demonstration, this workshop aims to invite attendees to become more aware of their responsibility in containing complex work effectively whilst managing their own self-care and burn out risk. The role of reflective practice & supervision will be explored to maintain safety and integration of learning post w’shop.

What you will learn
At the completion of training, you will be able to:
  • Define professional boundaries (PBs) and identify where they appear in our professional roles and tasks.
  • Identify PBs that are particularly challenging in your work context and nominate practical strategies to manage these specific risks.
  • Practice having difficult conversations with clients when a boundary needs to be identified and set.
  • Apply a formula for assessing your own boundary violation potential.
  • Describe & appreciate the universal, career-long challenge of maintaining PBs.
How this may help you in your work
  • Add essential knowledge and practices to manage your PBs responsively, compassionately & competently.
  • Develop confidence by affirming your current practices that are working well.
  • Enhance the sustainability of your work by acquiring the mind set and practical strategies for improved self-care.
Feedback from APDs attending Understanding Boundaries Workshop
  • ‘This workshop is absolutely essential for every Dietitian who values professional practice – no exceptions.’
  • ‘This workshop was a really good exploration of all those things you struggle with as a Dietitian but never hear about/learn about/read about or never really discuss with colleagues. I really liked the discussions and client examples/stories and actions/outcomes of managing boundaries in different situations. I now know where I need to set better boundaries in my practice and have some clear strategies for doing so, that are congruent with ‘best practice’.
  • This workshop is engaging, clear and stepped through all of the aspects of professional boundaries. I know that my practice will be more sustainable and professional as a result of implementing what I have learned at the Boundaries Workshop.
  • ‘Thought-provoking, and definitely worth attending.’ •‘This was so useful to my work!’.

Becoming an Ethical & Effective Supervisor Foundations for Dietitians
ONLINE
November 14th – 15th & 21st – 22nd 2024
Workshop Facilitator: Tara MacGregor PACFA Reg Clinical & APD
About the Workshop

Professional Supervision is a rapidly growing area of professional development for Dietitians in contemporary practice. As our practices become increasingly complex, behaviorally and systems focused, Dietitians are looking for ways to access the support they need to remain responsive and resilient.

Supervision is an evidence-based practice that can support health practitioners with their professional development and functioning, support quality service provision and provide oversight for the maintenance of sound professional conduct.

Delivering supervision requires a unique skill set that surpasses simply having enough clinical experience. Becoming an effective supervisor is supported by a working knowledge of useful supervision models, contracting, evaluation and ethical frameworks and being able to translate this knowledge into practice to work well with a supervisee.

This workshop series is conducted over four-part days online and is supported by significant pre-workshop learning material and workbooks. The online component is highly experiential featuring live and recorded demonstrations, discussions, and practice scenarios. The program is conducted in small groups of 15 to ensure the learning is responsive and relevant to the learning needs of participants. The spirit and skill base at the heart of the training is informed by Motivational Interviewing.

Opportunities for attending 12 months of group supervision of supervision is offered to attendees to support the integration of learning.

What you will learn

At the completion of training, you will be able to:

  • Define professional supervision in terms of functions and desirable outcomes
  • Define supervisor competencies in terms of spirt, skills and knowledge
  • Apply the CLEAR Model and Supervision Spaces Model to specific supervision scenarios
  • Identify appropriate boundaries within the supervision alliance and formulate your own supervision service contract
  • Describe the essential components in supervision that support your supervisees to learn
  • Foster reflective practice in your supervision and your supervisees practice
  • Practice skills for providing effective feedback well
  • Tailor your supervision to fit the developmental phase of your supervisees
  • Apply a model for managing ethical dilemmas in supervision
  • Access evidence-based resources for evaluating your supervision service
  • Appreciate the career-long challenge of developing your supervision skills
How this may help you in your work

Feedback from APDs attending Understanding Boundaries Workshop
  • ‘This workshop is absolutely essential for every Dietitian who values professional practice – no exceptions.’
  • ‘This workshop was a really good exploration of all those things you struggle with as a Dietitian but never hear about/learn about/read about or never really discuss with colleagues. I really liked the discussions and client examples/stories and actions/outcomes of managing boundaries in different situations. I now know where I need to set better boundaries in my practice and have some clear strategies for doing so, that are congruent with ‘best practice’.
  • This workshop is engaging, clear and stepped through all of the aspects of professional boundaries. I know that my practice will be more sustainable and professional as a result of implementing what I have learned at the Boundaries Workshop.
  • ‘Thought-provoking, and definitely worth attending.’ •‘This was so useful to my work!’.
