Feeling emotionally tapped out?  

Being a healthcare professional is to have a front seat to suffering. It is important for healthcare professionals to be equipped to deal with grief and cope with ongoing losses that are an inevitable part of the human existence. The creation of art allows one to make meaning and even bring beauty to difficult experiences. 

Join Dr Anne Tan in an experiential ‘mosaic making’ session. This mindful and guided reflection allows participants to reflect on death, grief and loss, both personally and professionally. Anne hopes that the session will allow participants to gain new insights and build emotional ‘muscle strength’ so they can carry heavier burdens. 

Bio 

Anne’s paternal grandmother, Katherine, was a nurse. Katherine’s dignified generosity towards the most vulnerable was part of what inspired Anne to pursue healthcare. Anne’s maternal grandmother, Ruby, was a home maker. Ruby was artistic and often included her granddaughter in her creative pursuits. Anne is now a palliative medicine physician at HCA Hospice, the largest home hospice provider in Singapore. She enjoys home hospice work as it is a place where a person (and their family) is cared for in their totality – body, mind and soul.
