Conflict is a Dish Best Served Cold for Nurses
(incl. tax)

Productive conflict is a teachable skill when understood through the neuroscience of stress which suggests that conflict is “a dish best served cold”. Actionable strategies will be considered with reference to three broad categories of veterinary industry conflict: team conflict, inner conflict, and client conflict.
