Lovely that my first post on Blue Sky can be a repost of our new work out, thanks Sam for sharing this with your network! Kindness in action!
🌟 Kindness improves healthcare
A new @bmj.com study shows that Kindness (proactive actions to help others flourish) can boost communication and care, even during burnout.
Unlike empathy or compassion, kindness is resilient and actionable.
