You can’t always get what you want

Should I work in a group practice or alone? How will I ever find a balance between my professional and my personal life? How do I choose between what my patient wants and what scientific and governmental guidelines tell me to do? What to do when doing what’s best for my patient means going against my own moral principles? How to hold up against the rising amount of fake news brought up by my patients? And how do I bring up bad news?

In your practice as well as in your personal life, unfortunately, making choices is almost never easy and even worse … “You can’t always get what you want”

We will explore this main topic through four themes and hope to support young family practitioners in making both small and life-changing decisions:

  • Your body, my choice? - Dynamics and dilemmas in a changing patient-doctor relationship
  • Walking the medical tightrope - How to keep the balance between work and life, and what if the balance at work cannot easily be found?
  • On board our stewardship - How to keep on facing the important challenges & dilemmas in ever changing society
  • Though talks - What to do when our patients or our conversations can’t be cured?

For the workshops there is a maximum capacity per room, we will apply the “first come, first served” principle so be in time if you don't want to miss the workshop.
