Synopsis

What is compassion? Although a fundamental value in healthcare, this concept is often misunderstood and difficult to navigate. The authors of this book aim to answer this fundamental question, as well as offer a practical approach to how to use it in medicine. Comprised of two parts, the first part of this book explores the background to compassionate healthcare, examines how it differs from other concepts and outlines its relationship to medical professionalism. The second part offers a practical guide full of strategies and exercises to assist healthcare workers in practicing compassion by cultivating mindfulness and awareness, deepening compassion in care. This book is essential reading for medical professionals and trainees across healthcare, providing a guide to incorporating compassion into daily practice to deliver better, more compassionate care for the benefit of all. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
