Mindful Practice Minutes
Mindful practitioners attend to their own physical and mental processes during their day-to-day work. This attention can improve their ability to provide care that is not only compassionate but also accesses their full knowledge and capabilities. It also enhances their capacity to perform as a member of a team. The benefits impact the practitioner, their colleagues other team members, and their patients.
