In an empowering exchange, we speak with Claudia Gore, a passionate NHS doctor, who shares her journey of leveraging digital storytelling to change the narratives around healthcare. Through her personal encounters both as a healthcare provider and as a patient, Claudia sheds light on the deeply human aspects of medical care that often remain unseen.
She introduces us to the concept of digital storytelling, emphasizing its potential to enrich patient-provider communication and foster empathy within the healthcare community. Claudia recounts the story of how she stumbled into storytelling workshops, where she unearthed her own creative voice and learned to convey the challenges she faced as a patient.
Throughout the episode, Claudia discusses several poignant digital stories she has created, reflecting on their powerful impacts on improving healthcare practices and team dynamics. She highlights the significance of empowering young voices through storytelling, illustrating how this initiative has facilitated connections and understanding among families navigating chronic conditions.
By integrating these narratives into healthcare education, Claudia advocates for a cultural shift that places emphasis on the voices of patients, urging us to rethink the traditional boundaries within healthcare.
