Healthcare practitioners
The Oxford Empathy Programme runs an 8-hour empathy training course for practitioners. The course can be run in a single day, and also divided up into 4, 2, or 1 hour sessions over several weeks.
The course covers empathy tools, and how to prevent 'compassion fatigue'.
The course is based on evidence from our systematic reviews, and delivered by award winning teachers and facilitators.
We are in the process on gathering evidence about the effectiveness of our course. Background evidence suggests it will reduce patient pain, anxiety, depression, medication use, while improving patient satisfaction and quality of life.
