Increase wellbeing and protect against empathic distress and burnout.

 

Compassion is known to benefit the patient but brain imaging research now shows that compassion is a positive state of mind, increasing the wellbeing of the giver and protecting against empathic distress and burnout. Although well-intentioned, empathy can accidentally turn into empathic distress for the worker. Understanding the difference between compassion and empathy is essential for healthcare worker resilience.

 

This award-winning course has had over 3000 participants and is now embedded in two medical degrees.

 

In this course, healthcare workers will learn strategies to enhance and strengthen compassion, how to avoid empathic distress, improve their wellbeing, and foster more caring and compassionate workplaces.
