'Doctors must learn care and compassion': Prince Charles claims modern medicine is putting the 'human touch' at risk
Dec 22nd 2012, 18:07

The Health Service must learn to listen to its patients and be more caring, Prince Charles said yesterday.

Modern medicine and technology are putting the 'human touch' at risk, according to the heir to the throne.

In a heartfelt plea, he said medical schools should try to foster a climate of care and compassion among doctors.

Charles's intervention follows a series of reports of appalling treatment by NHS staff, including dying patients left screaming for water.

He called on doctors and nurses to heed what patients say so they can develop the 'healing empathy' so badly needed.
