Providing quality healthcare is demanding, often stressful, and requires sustained effort. When resources are stretched and pressure mounts, compassion can slip - but compassion is an essential tool for leaders, who need to support their teams to continue delivering the best possible care.
In this final episode of The BMJ’s podcast series on quality of care, Rachael Hinton, BMJ Editor, speaks to three healthcare leaders. They discuss how fostering kind and compassionate leadership and care can improve morale, combat burnout, and contribute to better patient outcomes.
01:48 Lydia Okutoyi talks compassionate leadership in Kenya
08:39 Pedro Delgado talks refocusing on the human factor and tools for kind leadership
15:02 Alexander Ansah Manu talks reaping quality of care benefits in Ghana
