Circles of Humanity in Healthcare©
We are inviting the voices of healthcare to come together and share their wisdom and perspectives on the issues of humanity in healthcare.
Are you a healthcare professional, a patient, or a family member who wants their voice to be heard? Then your voice is needed.
Our capacity to increase our scope of practice and skills, using new technology and research-based approaches to medicine, have profound impact on the human being responsible. How can we ensure we are not creating more overwhelm, burnout, stress, mental health issues, broken relationships etc.? What are we doing to look after the human being in our possibly inhumane expectations?
Why?
It is important for us to come together and define humanity in healthcare, acknowledge what is working well, get to the root of what is not working and begin to collectively find some solutions. At ALIVE in Healthcare, we believe that we cannot individually find the solution, as it is important to understand what other key parts of the healthcare system are experiencing. We are too quick to blame, when seeking to understand will help break the isolation and expand our world views.
This is what we hope to achieve in the Circles of Humanity©.
