How do we earn patients trust?
Through stories, anecdotes, lived experiences and research, Gareth Wright will share from his experience working in 4 continents and in many different contexts.
Whether seeing patients abandoned by their families due to an unexplained neurological illness or treating Royality; patient (and family) expectations and beliefs can play a huge part in adherence and the likelihood that a health care worker will be trusted and believed. Add in language barriers and cultural changes and you are in for one bumpy ride.
