Welcome to the Hot Topics Podcast from NB Medical with Dr Neal Tucker.Merry Christmas everyone! This is a special edition on empathy in general practice. Does it matter and what does the research tell us? Can not being a grinch in surgery make a difference to our patients and ourselves? We are joined by NB colleague Dr Andy Ward, who is also Associate Professor of Medical Education and an Honorary Senior Academic General Practitioner at the Stoneygate Centre for Empathic Healthcare at the University of Leicester, who is going to get us through the data and explain why empathy might help get us through the festive period in practice too.ReferencesStoneygate Centre for Empathic Healthcare websiteBJGP Just Do It!
