Reflective practice groups are a subject that has come up a few times on the podcast as being an important way of supporting both staff wellbeing and patient care.
Paula wanted to explore this in more depth, so in this episode she is joined by Dr Arabella Kurtz, consultant clinical psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist to talk about her Heads and Hearts model. They discuss how reflective practice is defined in this context, the different components of the Heads and Hearts model, and common challenges.
Arabella and her colleague Dr Joanna Levene have summarised the model in a chapter of the excellent ACP-UK book entitled ‘Psychological Staff Support in Healthcare’, which was edited by Dr Harriet Conniff.
