Abstract

The concept of caring is a multifaceted one and there are various ways of studying this process in practice. This workshop encourages participants to reflect on the care that they offer (or do not offer) to their patients in a range of settings. The workshop also focuses on other types of caring relationships — within families and in relationships with friends.
