Online via MS Teams

Lead facilitator: Dr Andy Ward, Director of Education and Training, Stoneygate Centre for Empathic Healthcare, Leicester Medical School.

This half-day online workshop is designed for clinical educators, educational supervisors, and training leads.

An increasing amount of evidence shows that empathy improves patient outcomes (including patient satisfaction) and practitioner well-being. With a keynote on the latest evidence around empathic healthcare, group work, and patient stories, this workshop will cover the theory and practice of empathy in healthcare and facilitate the development of evidence-based ‘empathy habits’ to enhance empathy in clinical practice and organisations.

The session will take place remotely via MS Teams; a joining link will be provided to all participants by email.
