15-16 September 2025, Leicester, UK.
The Global Empathy in Healthcare Network is driving forward empathic healthcare.
With members from the UK, US, Australia, Brazil, Nigeria, and beyond, the network is a truly global organisation united in its commitment to restoring empathy and human connection in healthcare.
It is made up of key international empathic healthcare organisations and leaders who are working together to encourage countries to put empathy at the heart of healthcare.
Why is Empathy in Healthcare important?
Empathy research, practice and teaching are thriving globally because healthcare professionals and educators are increasingly realising the importance of practising empathetically.
A growing body of evidence is showing that Empathy in Healthcare can:
-
Improve patient outcomes
-
Make patients’ experience of healthcare better
-
Help healthcare professionals to cope with the pressures of fast-paced healthcare systems
