Training and resource materials

The Foundation has designed a modular training and resource package, Values in Healthcare to help health professionals take a fresh, values-based approach to their learning and practice, and to enable them to complement their training with improved interactive and spiritual skills.

At a time when excessive workloads put many health workers under increasing strain, this resource addresses an important gap in training and contributes to Continuous Professional Development.

"All of the worry and fear on this planet is due to people not realising their purpose. If everyone were to address this, their highest destiny, indeed the highest destiny of humankind, could be fulfilled."
