We rely on our complex and personal 'toolkits' of knowledge, skills and behaviours that govern how we live and work • within society. We are born with an intrinsic mind-set and ability to empathise with fellow human beings. Scientific evidence also confirms that the vast majority of human beings are neurologically and psychologically 'hard wired' to be empathic. For various reasons, we have chosen to ignore this human ability for too long. • Rod is a Head and Neck Surgeon by trade. He works for the National Health Service (NHS) in Scotland and is experienced in healthcare education and skills training. • He works passionately at the creative interface of so-called Science and Art, co-designing products, services and experiences for healthcare users and institutions. • He believes that Scotland should pioneer a public, private and third sector “renaissance” for all, bringing our citizens, humanities and sciences into the same creative space. • He aspires to facilitate this change by introducing the vocabulary, tools and mindset of user centered “DESIGN” to a much wider health and social care audience. • This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
