More healthcare = better health? Communities can help us go further
Care giver and Empathy
Prof Usman Khan asks Susan Bury, dietitian and health coach about motivation. Susan emphasises a personalised approach. Find something that works for you. This is the approach she takes with her clients.
Prof Usman Jaffer talks about what we can do right now. More time and more money always helps. But breaking down barriers and silos and embark on journeys on health-shared.com - supported by the whole community can do a lot. He thinks its all about sharing.
Dr Prashant Vas reveals that empathy is not something we necessarily get taught. He talks about finding a happy medium as care givers are human beings and can't always take on everyone’s emotional needs. He talks about accepting that there isn’t a one size fits all solution. Prof Usman Khan comes in with a possible team based solution.
