This is our flagship course, which has been taken by people in a wide range of professions, and which is regularly commissioned, by health services, churches, mental health groups, higher education institutions and others. The course consistently gets very high marks from those attending, who frequently report it as being highly influential in informing their practice. The course covers the fundamentals of boundary theory and practice, introducing participants to the core knowledge from experience, from research and the literature and helping them to develop and enhance practice.
The course is suitable for people in a range of professional settings, including medicine, therapy, nursing, ministry, social work, support work, youth work. It is for those new to professional boundaries or needing a refresher.
Please note, this course is not suitable if you are dealing with a particular issue or complaint about boundaries or other conduct related matters; the most helpful courses in these circumstances are the three-day ones. Please contact the office if you would like to discuss options.
There is space for consideration of how the core understandings apply to the participants own circumstances and occupational role, along with a chance to decide on any actions needed arising from the session.
The Professionalism Game® is our proprietary board game, developed over many years of delivering training on boundaries. It includes a set of scenarios which prompt discussion around core boundary topics and helps bring together learning from the rest of the session. It is available to purchase under licence – further information on this page.

Since the workshop, I have incorporated “Professional boundaries” as a regular teaching topic for my medical students and junior doctors under my supervision. I have also used the Clinic’s free on line teaching module on the London Deanery site with medical students with very good success. The workshop was a success and we thank you again for it.
