Performing Medicine delivers creative training programmes for healthcare professionals and students. We address staff wellbeing, compassionate care, effective communication, leadership and teamwork.
Our practical, hands-on workshops are delivered by expert facilitators who draw on techniques from the arts to help healthcare professionals to use their bodies and voices for effective communication, and to better look after themselves and each other.
These courses can be offered online, in person, or as a blended approach to suit you. With 15+ years of experience, our courses are accessible to all who work within healthcare.
Our training focuses on the human side of care, addressing the sector’s most pressing issues.
