S6 Episode 30: From Medical Fixer to Emotional Support - How Coaching Allows GPs to Pass Power Back to Patients with Dr Elizabeth Rozario

This episode explores how coaching techniques can revolutionise conversations around death, caregiving, and emotional well-being.

Elizabeth Rozario, a former GP, is in conversation with Claire Pedrick to share her journey from traditional medicine to coaching-led care. Her insights reveal how coaching fosters deeper listening, reduces system-induced suffering, and empowers families to create peaceful, meaningful goodbyes.
