  • Title: Empathy: improving the quality of the genitourinary medicine consultation.
    Author: Sonnex C.
    Journal: Int J STD AIDS; 2008 Feb; 19(2):73-6. PubMed ID: 18334055.
    Abstract:
    The interaction between patient and practitioner remains core to the provision of medical care. Physicians who display a warm, friendly and reassuring manner during their consultations are reported to be more effective in their delivery of care, with empathy, in particular, emerging as a key factor. This paper examines the concept of empathy and discusses how this may be achieved, with particular emphasis on the genitourinary medicine consultation.
