3rd Annual Compassion in Healthcare Education Conference

14 December 2022
Collaboration for Compassion in Healthcare Education (C4CHEd) logo
This virtual event was our 3rd conference. The presenters approached the subject from different perspectives and from varying backgrounds but all highlighted the evidence and impact of compassionate practice on improving patient care as well as staff wellbeing.
Compassion is a powerful and clinically relevant skill and the growing body of evidence and the increasing number of professionals who are embracing, researching and teaching the concept was reflected in the content of the day.
As with the previous conferences, the generosity of the presenters who do not get a fee and the support of the Â鶹´«Ã½ meant that this conference was free to attend – compassion in action as well as in content!
Recordings of the previous meetings are available via the above C4CHEd link.
