Healthcare and Hospital Security Officer Training in Conflict and Protective Physical Interventions

Описание: “During the violence audits I have conducted in hospitals - usually sitting in the Emergency Department or the main entrance-points - I have seen both the best and the worst of human behaviour on all sides of the encounters I observed.  Our goal as your trusted advisors is to give your teams the tools they need to ensure that everyone in your hospital is treated with dignity and is shown respect - regardless of the initial behaviour or presentation.  In this way you and your teams can establish the social contract and ethos of care at your hospital”

-- Gerard O'Dea, Author, Expert Witness and Hospital Violence advisor.

Please refer to the Vistelar Conflict Management training package for specific elements of the verbalisation skills elements of the training for Healthcare Security Officers.  

Vistelar training is a system of conflict management which aims to ‘Treat People with Dignity and Show Respect’ in every encounter, regardless of the outcomes in the interaction.   It is a system of non-escalation and de-escalation of conflict through an interaction’s normal Context, Contact and Closure phases which takes into account the possibility of Conflict, Crisis and occasionally Combat during the timeline.
