Exploring the impact of empathy on patient satisfaction and pain reduction
The role empathy plays in helping to improve patient satisfaction and reduce pain is at the heart of a new healthcare research centre being created at the University of Leicester. The Stoneygate Centre for
Empathic Healthcare’s mission is ‘to improve patients’ lives by pioneering a robust new approach to medical education and training that positions empathy at the heart of healthcare, fostering health and care services fit for the future’. Established in summer 2022, the centre is said to be the UK’s first of its kind, and aims to provide the NHS with ‘the most
Education – reportedly ‘the first to demonstrate systematically why empathy declines during medical training’, and which ‘raises important questions’ about the fitness of medical education. Co-funded by the University
and The Stoneygate Trust, the £10 m centre will provide the resources required ‘to embed
emphathetic and resilient’ junior doctors possible. The centre is already producing research around a lack of empathy in healthcare, and possible solutions. Centre director, Professor Jeremy Howick, is the lead author of a new study to be published soon in BMC Medical
empathy into the core’ of Leicester’s Medical School curriculum, and then expand it ‘across the UK and beyond’. It will ‘build on the empathy curriculum’ delivered to Leicester Medical School’s Foundation Year students, also supported by the Stoneygate Trust.
Free-to-attend webinar on UPS best practice
Healthcare engineers looking to gain a better understanding of UPS systems in medical environments can learn about the latest guidance provided by HTM 06-01 in an hour-long, free webinar hosted by Kohler Uninterruptible Power in conjunction with HEJ on Tuesday 20 June at 10.00 am.
The CPD-accredited webinar will cover the fundamentals of designing a UPS system, enabling healthcare engineers to explore the various UPS options available to suit their requirements. ‘As with medical IT systems’, Kohler Uninterruptible Power says, ‘there is
no standard one-size-fits-all solution’. Alex Emms (pictured), the company’s Technical director, who will be running the webinar, said: “As healthcare facilities and operating theatres rely heavily on technology for patient care, it is crucial to have reliable power protection solutions in place. The webinar will offer valuable insights into the latest guidance provided by HTM 06-01, and will cover an overview of Risk to Business continuity, fault clearance, transformer versus transformerless design, batteries, and selecting a UPS for medical IT.” Also covered will be key UPS
considerations – including understanding the load, supply requirements, redundancy, battery autonomy, redundancy,
and monitoring, as well as design for installation, access, and maintenance. To register for a place on the webinar, ‘Critical power protection for hospitals: design considerations for selecting a UPS system for healthcare environments in accordance with HTM 06-01 guidance’, click on
