presentation
posted on 2023-06-09, 09:11 authored by Julia Montgomery, Charlotte Ramage, Angela Glynn, Susan WheatleyWe undertook a multiprofessional study involving undergraduate students in medicine, physiotherapy , nursing and occupational therapy. Students were asked to record acts of compassion seen within their clinical placements on a web based platform. The students wrote narratives about the impact this study had on them. We showed that this simple study had powerful effects on students around self-compassion and resilience, 'seeing' the shared values of teams in practice and empowering students to have an effect on the clinical environment by mimicing compassion acts witnessed by themselves. Discussion : Students are asked to record clinical skills within their placements. The GMC's Outcome for Graduates does not include compassion and yet compassionate care is at the heart of postgraduate training. By asking students to record compassionate acts alongside their clinical skills would give prominence to the importance of compassionate care.
