Limited Capacity seats available

Contemporary healthcare emphasizes patient-centred care, yet power imbalances and procedural communication often limit genuine partnership. This presentation proposes Bahá’í consultation as a framework that deepens patient-centred practice by reframing the clinician–patient relationship as a shared search for truth grounded in humility, dignity, and unity of purpose. Drawing on health communication literature and clinical examples from dentistry, the session explores how consultation can strengthen trust and ethical decision-making. Participants will engage in reflection on how these principles may be applied within their own professional contexts.
