Abstract
Compassion is central to person centred clinical care. Medical Humanities have developed both as an academic discipline and as a resource for education over the past 30 years. The article will discuss what compassion is in a clinical context, and explore whether compassionate clinical practice can be enhanced by using the humanities in medical education in primary care.
