The program will provide vital supervision for clinicians/dietitians to foster reflective practice, increase confidence and competency, and implement evidence-based treatment to a range of clients with unique contexts and needs. As we adjusted to working during the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us have had to change the way we see clients and how we meet our supervision needs. Some of the changes have been welcome, such as increased flexibility in providing/receiving online support; however we have also been challenged to consider how to continue to provide ongoing support to our clients via telehealth.
The online consultation program takes advantage of this increased flexibility in working to give you access to consultation with experienced consultants from around Australia, New Zealand and Internationally. It also improves access to consultation for professionals located in rural and regional areas.
