Book Review: Embracing Empathy in Healthcare

RESPECTING THE personhood of a ‘patient’ is a long established ethos in healthcare research. The importance of personhood has resulted in a plethora of literature around person-centred care, empathetic care, shared decision making, shared two-way communication and ultimately collaborative care between the person (patient) and the healthcare professional. Building on these tenets, the authors provide a workbook for healthcare professionals to learn about the CARE approach that was developed at the University of Glasgow, Scotland.
