Vision for the future education of healthcare professionals: human relationships at the centre - technology in a supportive role.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In this time of rapidly-changing science, technology, healthcare and society, the education of aspiring professionals and the training of seasoned practitioners must intentionally place human relationships at the centre of service delivery. Reflecting on our own experiences, gained over many years in practice, we argue that despite the proliferation of technology in every aspect of our lives, both patients and practitioners ultimately desire a human-centric approach. To consider the impact of such a paradigm on the future education needs of those working in data-driven and technology-enabled care, a multifactorial approach is required consisting of seven different dimensions: the changing nature of healthcare relationships; addressing disparities; human-centred design and innovation; effective digital technology education; prioritising professionals' wellbeing through systemic change; working with governments, institutions and other stakeholders; and the implications, ethics and stewardship of shared data. The authors examine each of these areas and propose specific steps that evolving healthcare systems can take to prioritise human relationships and optimise technology to support those relationships. We acknowledge that our gaze is somewhat tinted, reflecting our work in healthcare and the global north. Yet our aim is universal: to celebrate human connections and the art of caring in a digital age.
