Bringing Compassion into Mental Healthcare

To many of us at this moment, healthcare seems to lurch from one crisis to the next and morale of practitioners is being seriously affected. At times like this we need to ask ourselves the difficult question: how can compassion truly reach the heart of our healthcare organisations to deliver the kind of care we would all want to give and receive? This day will explore the meaning of compassion as it relates both to spirituality and a wide range of therapeutic approaches. We shall consider how compassion as a spiritual value can help bring about organisational and cultural change to benefit not only our patients but also ourselves as clinicians and the Health Service in which we work.
