Dr Hilton Koppe
"From Byron Writers Festival to Harvard Medical School, Hilton Koppe has shared his passion for reflection and well-being."
We are delighted to announce a series of workshops in March 2025, facilitated by Dr. Hilton Koppe, a writer, educator, and physician from Australia. Dr. Koppe is renowned for his reflective writing workshops aimed at healthcare professionals, focusing on deepening compassion, reducing burnout, and fostering professional growth.
These workshops will be held in Cork, Limerick, Belfast, and Dublin, offering participants a unique opportunity to engage with Dr. Koppe’s expertise. His approach aligns seamlessly with our mission at Attuned in Practice to support practitioners in their personal and professional development.
Dr. Koppe emphasises the importance of reflective writing in healthcare, stating, “Reflective writing allows healthcare professionals to process their experiences, leading to greater empathy and reduced burnout.”

One Curious Doctor
In addition to his impactful workshops, Dr. Hilton Koppe is the author of One Curious Doctor, a heartfelt and insightful memoir that explores the emotional and ethical challenges faced by healthcare professionals. Through a series of compelling stories, he invites readers into the world of medicine, offering a glimpse into the human side of caregiving. The book not only reflects on the complexities of medical practice but also highlights the importance of self-compassion and reflective writing in sustaining a long and fulfilling career in healthcare.
This moving and thought-provoking read has resonated with healthcare workers and the broader community, providing a deep understanding of the connections and struggles that shape the lives of those who care for others. As Dr. Koppe explains, “Writing became my way to process the intensity of what it means to be a doctor, and through it, I found the humanity in medicine.”
During my final year of study as an occupational therapist, I attended a multidisciplinary pain management conference facilitated by Hilton. Hilton opened the day with a story and managed both to ground theory in the personal and to give the whole audience a shared experience at the start of the day. Hilton has an uncanny knack for delivering complicated information in an easy-to-access manner, grounded in the acknowledgement that we all have our own story.
