Why Attend?
 |
The skills you acquire will offer
you a chance to further improve relations with patients and staff,
colleagues and policy makers and help to improve your quality of
life and ability to practice more effectively. |
Content
|
|
Be at the cutting edge and
acquaint yourself with life-coaching and Solution Focused Brief
Therapy. |
|
|
In this workshop you will practice
and experience consultation techniques that enable you to help
patients to help themselves. |
Context
|
|
|
It is proposed that GPs will give a
lifestyle plan to those patients who ask for one, with the opportunity
for involvement of individual patients to actively promote self care.
|
|
|
This might look impossible within a
ten-minute consultation but the answer to this can be found in a few
easy-to-use techniques.
Many ailments presenting mental and physical symptoms are the result
of stress. |
|
|
Solution Focused Brief Therapy
techniques and life coaching principles provide long-term solutions.
This is due to shifting from being problem focused to solution
focused. |
|
|
These techniques help the
Doctor to mobilise the patient’s own resources, making the patient
independent of the Doctor. |

Attendees of Dr. Havinga's previous
seminars:
"I will feel more equipped when faced
with patients who present with apparently insoluble problems."
"The exercises on establishing rapport
were helpful and useful and I will certainly aim to practice them."
"It is very liberating to know that we
do not have to be problem focused, but we can choose to be solution
focused." |

An extract from the book review by Dr
Ranjna Garg,
Specialist Registrar, Leicester Royal Infirmary
"Life Is Wonderful, Make
It Happen”
"The brilliance of Dr. Havinga is in
writing this book from experience and passion for life."
"I have read several
“improve-yourself” books; many made no change in my life, though
some gave me hope. This one differs in a colossal way from the rest.
Dr Havinga’s “Wheel of life” helps the readers in analysing their
current life from the first chapter. He suggests small changes,
which one needs to make for oneself. The author’s use of clever
analogies in conjunction with real-life scenarios is interesting."
