Responding to crisis
Healthcare is in crisis, all around the world. Too many health professionals are feeling stressed, overworked, tired, and heading for burnout. And the deteriorating working conditions are doing great harm to patient care too.
The sheer pace of work, the overwhelming workload, the staff shortages, and the increasing use of technology, mean that too often the basic human needs of patients are neglected.
Yet research shows that whole-person, compassionate care is safer, more effective, achieves better outcomes, reduces demand, satisfies patients, gives meaning to work, and costs less.
HEARTS in HEALTHCARE aims to put the care back in healthcare
And joining this community could be good for your health. We’ll be sharing the simple practices that make a significant difference to your happiness and wellbeing.
Even better, we’ll enroll you in a major international research collaboration with Dr Martin Seligman, the founding father of positive psychology. You can opt to join a longitudinal study of the happiness and wellbeing of those who bring their hearts to practice.
