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.
