Patients Know Best Education Programme

Listen to Professor Ronald Hsu and Dr Ethan Maitlyn, who pioneered our Education programme at the University of Leicester, delve into bridging the gap between the narrative of patient-centred healthcare and the reality within medical education and training. They explore how traditional medical training often treats patients as passive subjects rather than individuals with lived experiences. By integrating real-time patient interactions into medical education, students gain a deeper understanding of chronic illnesses in particular and the emotional and practical impacts on patients' lives.

They also discuss the evolving dynamics in healthcare, emphasising the value of electronic health records and patient empowerment through access to medical information. The speakers highlight the need for future healthcare professionals to shift from a patriarchal approach to a collaborative one, working with informed patients as partners to achieve better health outcomes. This change is driven by advancements in technology and the increasing complexity of medical conditions requiring multidisciplinary care.
