The power of person-centred care

In this episode, we chat with Callum Metcalfe-O'Shea, UK Professional Lead for long-term conditions at the Royal College of Nursing and Af Marseh, author and stand-up comedian who was diagnosed with testicular cancer. They share valuable insights into the importance of person-centred care and how to put it in action.

Together, we explore what truly makes a difference. This includes practical strategies for professionals, the power of effective communication, and small but impactful ways to ensure every person feels seen, heard, and supported.

Whether you’re looking for actionable insights or simply passionate about delivering compassionate care, this conversation will leave you with valuable takeaways to enhance your practice.
