The Potential of Physiotherapists and the Importance of Empathy

Chris down with Sarah Lord Ferguson to discuss her recent editorial, “Should we give patients what they want? Patient expectations and financial pressures need to be addressed to increase uptake of evidence-based practice.” We dive into: the messy realities of EBP implementation, addressing common barriers, changes that can occur at the clinician, clinic, and community levels, and much more. Sarah is a clinician-researcher from Vancouver, Canada who is inspired by the problems that physiotherapists and other healthcare providers face. She has a special interest in patient psychology including patient belief systems and patient expectations of healthcare services, particularly in private practice settings.
