https://lnkd.in/epNX_izc    Empathy reveals our shared human experiences, bridging cultural, linguistic, and background differences. When we understand others' struggles, we bond on a deeper level, realizing our challenges are universal.    Empathy invites us to walk in someone else’s shoes, truly understanding their perspective. It makes us kinder and less critical, validating others' feelings and providing comfort.    Empathy breaks the loneliness of struggles. Listening without judgment creates a safe space for vulnerability. Empathy sparks action, inspiring us to help and support each other, leading to positive change.    Research shows that empathetic connections boost mental and physical health. Compassionate healthcare providers improve patient outcomes and satisfaction, recognizing the human aspect of care. Empathy fuels hope, showing strength in hardship.    At Cleveland Clinic, empathy is the connection that reminds us we're not alone. It’s the glue that binds humanity, fostering kindness and healing. Watch our Empathy video to see the importance of human connection. You won’t regret it.   

🌟 Empathy: The Heartbeat of Human Care In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to forget the silent stories others carry with them. The Cleveland Clinic’s powerful video, "Empathy: The Human Connection to Patient Care," is a beautiful reminder that every person has a story we may never see—whether it’s a patient, a customer, a colleague, or even a stranger in passing. Behind every interaction is someone who might be facing uncertainty, pain, or worry. What if, in every moment, we paused and truly considered what others are going through? Empathy is not just about feeling—it’s about understanding and connection. It’s the bridge between care and compassion that transforms not only the patient experience but every human encounter. Let’s practice it more often: the smallest acts of kindness, understanding, and empathy can have the greatest impact. As the video so perfectly states: "If you could stand in someone else’s shoes... hear what they hear... see what they see... feel what they feel... would you treat them differently?" #Empathy #PatientCare #HumanConnection #KindnessMatters #Healthcare #Compassion #CXDay #HumanCentricity https://lnkd.in/dRynbbvQ

You may have seen video before, but if not, it can be a sensitive watch. But today, it has reminded me of a couple of things: ❤️Our patients and co-workers are all unique individuals, who have very different stories and experiences, some of which we will never know. 🩺We can get caught up by life and forget to foster genuine human connections, to show empathy and compassion, and it can make the world of difference, even if it was just to one person. 🌟 Let’s commit to seeing each person as an individual, ensuring that empathy and respect guide our actions and interactions. 👉 Let's make a difference together! https://lnkd.in/dNWaBzJs #NHSPeoplePromise #EmpathyInHealthcare #PatientCare #Teamwork #Compassion #InclusiveWorkplace #HealthcareHeroes #NHSExemplarprogramme #midlandsnhs

What is person-centred care? The SPECAL method is rooted in an understanding of person-centred care. Person-centred care provides us with a set of principles which are applicable to any human being, regardless of age, race, creed, medical condition, and so on. The state of well-being for any person requires four global subjective states (feelings) to be present. SPECAL presents these subjective states using the acronym P-A-S-T: Personal Worth, Agency, Social Ease & Trust The first of these states is a sense of Personal Worth - every human being must feel good about themselves in some way. #dementiacare #personcentredcare #SPECALmethod #understandingdementia #personalworth #agency #socialease #trust #contenteddementia
