Attuned In Practice

Hearts Aligned, Practice Refined

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.

Attuned in Practice March 2025 Events with Dr Hilton Koppe

"From Byron Writers Festival to Harvard Medical School, Hilton Koppe has shared his passion for reflection and well-being."

Attuned in Practice is delighted to welcome Dr Hilton Koppe, Australian GP and author of One Curious Doctor – A Memoir of Medicine, Migration and Mortality, for a two-week
reflective writing tour across Ireland in March 2025.

Building on our dedication to supporting frontline healthcare workers, these sessions
highlight the power of Reflective Writing Workshops for Clinician Well-Being to help
practitioners process their experiences, maintain empathy, and reduce the risk of
burnout. During his visit, Dr Koppe will also present his thought-provoking ‘Enduring
Witness’ Book-in-Hand Play, which explores the shared journey of both patient and
doctor.

Event Highlights:

• Reflective Writing Workshops for Clinician Well-Being in Cork, Dublin, Belfast, and other locations.
• ‘Enduring Witness’ Book-in-Hand Play in Limerick and Kildare, offering an immersive look into the human side of healthcare.

This tour aims to spark conversations around clinician well-being and the importance of making reflection a core part of healthcare practice. We look forward to sharing more
updates throughout February and March on the positive impact of Dr Koppe’s visit.

Attendee Feedback

"I felt it nourished my soul. Aisling's voice was calm and clear, and she held my attention throughout the session. It was very informative and delivered with an easy flow. I felt very privileged to meet and connect with the other participants in my small group.”
“Enjoyed the whole session, particularly the discussions in the small groups with the two ladies sharing the space with me. It was so valuable to be reminded of the 'softer' side of person-to-person interactions and the need for self-care.”
"It was thought-provoking content presented in a gentle way. It's always so affirming to gather with like-minded people with a focus on all that is better for ourselves, our participants, and the world."
