4. We practice person-centred medicine, emphasising dialogue, context, and the best evidence available.

We engage professionally with our patients’ current life situations, biographical stories, beliefs, worries, and hopes. This helps us to recognise the links between social factors and sickness, and to deepen our understanding of how life and life events leave their imprint on the human body. We promote patients’ capacity to make use of their individual and communal resources.

To safeguard our long-term resilience as caregivers, we attend to our own well-being.
