Self-care leadership series

Workshop overview

Safeguarding your reputation, practice, and well-being

Professional adversity in healthcare is never just an administrative hurdle.

Whether you are facing an HCCC complaint, an AHPRA notification, an internal hospital inquiry, or high-stakes workplace conflict, the process carries a profound weight that can threaten both your medical registration and personal well-being.

Join Dr Kenneth Wong (FRACS) in Sydney for an accredited 3-hour CPD masterclass on protecting your reputation, clinical practice, and mental health.

Through de-identified, real-world case studies, you will unpack the mechanics of systemic conflict and learn how to navigate regulatory pressure systematically - rather than reacting under stress and compromise your reputation.

What you will gain:

• Systematic rights protection: the ability to safeguard your legal, procedural, and professional standing during formal inquiries, investigations, and grievances through structured, strategic action rather than emotional reaction.

• Mastery in conflict de-escalation: practical, framework-driven skills to navigate intense inter-colleague friction, sensitive patient grievances, and regulatory scrutiny with calm, professional control.

• Sustained professional resilience: long-term strategies to shift away from reactive crisis management, enabling you to protect your mental well-being and maintain long-term career continuity.  

Learning outcomes

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

• Analyse the systemic and personal triggers of professional adversity in the Australian healthcare system. 

• Develop a structured framework for responding to regulatory and institutional complaints. 

• Identify all available resources that may assist the clinician to manage the complaints and conflict in the workplace. 

• Describe practical methods to maintain professional identity and personal morale during prolonged periods of challenge.

• Establish a multifaceted professional support network incorporating peers, mentors, and external advisors to manage complaints, mitigate the impact of professional conflict, and protect long-term career viability.

• Deep self-awareness: identify your leadership strengths, weaknesses, and automatic responses under stress.

• Cultural impact mapping: learn how your subtle behaviours, communication patterns, and emotional footprint shape team dynamics.

• De-escalation toolkit: practical strategies to manage conflict, reduce burnout, and lead calmly through high-stakes situations.

• Personalised leadership profile: receive a tailored self-leadership assessment report that pinpoints your primary leadership style, maps your development areas, and provides an actionable blueprint for targeted professional growth. 

Learning outcomes: 

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:
