At Attuned in Practice, we believe that all frontline practitioners deserve learning spaces to reflect and connect with their core beliefs, values, and the sense of purpose that drew them into their work or chosen career path. We know from our own practice that these spaces can be normative and restorative, helping to sustain us.
When practitioners are afforded the opportunity to connect and reflect on subjects central to their work, this shapes their practice for the better and sets them up to bring their best selves to work. Reflective, attuned practitioners then inform a better organisational and whole-system response to people using those services.
Our aim is to provide learning and reflective spaces for practitioners to come together. We choose reflective practitioners to lead and provide key insights, inviting deeper thinking and reflection on key aspects of frontline work in Health, Education, and Social Care. These practitioners speak from their own experience and practice, creating a safe and nurturing space that helps attendees think more deeply about their roles. The gathering and opportunity to share are supportive to attendees and help build a community with shared values and a collective understanding of the challenges and norms of working in frontline practice.

The first national seminar, ‘Reconnecting with the Heart of Frontline Practice’
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is essential for frontline practitioners to maintain and enhance their knowledge and skills throughout their careers. This includes all aspects of good practice, both clinical and non-clinical. External CPD activities, which are often conducted outside the usual work environment, play a key role in this ongoing education process. Our seminars and conferences are often CPD-approved, ensuring that attending these events contributes directly to the professional development of frontline practitioners, helping them stay updated and proficient in their fields.
On 20th February 2024, frontline practitioners joined an insightful online “Touchpoint Session” titled “Exploring Vulnerability and Resilience in Frontline Practice.” This two-hour event, conducted via Zoom, was facilitated by Dr Aisling McMahon, a respected clinical psychologist, integrative psychotherapist, and clinical supervisor.
On 17th October, the Heart of Frontline Practice Alliance hosted a vital online session as part of their Touchpoint Series, focusing on ‘Relationship-based practice in social work and social care management’. The event, expertly facilitated by Sylvia Smith, was held from 11am to 1pm and drew on her extensive experience in health and social care.
