Be Extraordinary CPD
Meaningful professional development with restoration built in.
Dr Susannah Ward and the Ataraxia Collective design retreats for doctors who want continuing professional development to include reflection, cultural safety, connection and genuine restoration. PassGP supports the retreat series as a sponsor.
The program can include up to 12 hours of CPD, with reviewing performance, a professional conversation, a development plan and measuring outcomes in cultural safety. Bias, critical consciousness and wellbeing are explored alongside movement, shared meals and time with colleagues.
Why this works
