| Summary: | Empathy is a vital characteristic for all health professionals. However, it is also a difficult behavioural trait and professional skill set to teach and assess, as a result it is often a neglected component of health science curriculum. This is the final report from a project that had project had two aims: i) to develop a toolkit that includes a range of interprofessional empathy DVD simulations and workshop resources, and ii) to evaluate the toolkit through exploring empathic behaviours and interprofessional levels pre- and post- involvement in a DVD simulation workshop. The nature of the project allowed for comparisons and differences between the health disciplines and institutions. The findings inform curriculum development in each of the disciplines, as well as facilitate the development of empathic behaviours and interprofessional collaboration in the health sciences students. |
