Webinar Series “Humanising Critical Care”
Humanisation in critical care refers to the approach of treating patients and their families as individuals with unique experiences, emotions, and needs.
This programme aims to provide an overview of the importance of humanisation in critical care, and how healthcare professionals can provide evidence-based, person-centred care in their daily practice to improve patient outcomes and experiences. By the end of this webinar series, participants will have an understanding of the impact of humanisation in critical care and how to transfer person-centred practices in their clinical practice.
