This one-day course introduces you to the topic of developing a Professional Will and walks you through the steps necessary to care for your clients, your family and yourself both ethically and confidentially.
Sometimes, Therapists/Supervisors are incapacitated or die due to ill health, incident or accident. When these unexpected events occur the impact on clients and supervisees is considerable. Similarly, the impact on the families of professionals who have to mop-up the often secret world of professional practice leaves family members/executors in the dark.
Who is this course for?
Pre-accredited therapists and accredited therapists and supervisors who work in any private practice capacity. Health and social care professionals in some form of private practice or mixed private/agency work contexts.
Why should you do the course?
Codes of ethics require therapists/supervisors/healthcare professionals to ensure they have plans in place for record-keeping and continuity of care of their clients/supervisees. For example, the IACP Code of Ethics requires members to “make suitable arrangements for the responsible care of clients and the management of records in the event of the practitioner’s ill-health, retirement and termination of practice. Practitioners need to have in place a procedure that would protect their clients in the event of their death while still practicing or a sudden illness which would prevent them from practicing.”. However, few therapists appear to have considered these situations, much less made provision for them. This short course is a practical solution to help you meet this ethical requirement and safeguard your clients/supervisees and families when these unexpected and impactful life events happen.
What will you learn?
Participants will understand the ethical obligations associated with preparing a professional will, including how the sudden death of a therapist/supervisor/healthcare professional impacts on clients. Participants will receive practical and experiential learning with take home skills, including how to prepare a Professional Will.
