Empowerment is about people becoming active partners in their health, based on what matters to them, not what is the matter with them. There's a shift from patients feeling powerless to sharing power with health professionals; from being told how their health needs will be met to being valued as an active partner in their own healthcare. In this webinar, Jim Phillips of CEmPaC introduces three experienced perspectives on community empowerment in healthcare, taking in examples from Somerset and Southampton in the UK, and from Denmark.
