Description

Don't Call Me Mum: Little Things That Make a Big Difference – Working with Parents/Caregivers (Healthcare)

3-hour CPD Certified Training by Born at the Right Time

In fast-paced healthcare environments, meaningful interactions with families aren’t just the icing on the cake they run through the heart of service delivery. When time is limited and pressures are high, effective communication leads to safer decision making, greater potential for collaboration and more empathy.

Fewer misunderstandings and clearer communication mean better outcomes for families and professionals alike.

This CPD-certified course is grounded in the lived experiences of families raising children with complex needs. It offers a powerful lens into how small changes in language, approach and mindset can make a big difference when working with parents and family caregivers.

By listening to and learning from parent/carers, healthcare professionals can deliver care that is child-centred, inclusive, and supportive of families navigating complex journeys within NHS services.
