Beyond the Diagnosis

Whole-person education for healthcare and university settings.

Clinical knowledge matters. So does understanding the person living beyond the diagnosis. Beyond the Diagnosis supports health professionals and students to recognise the individual, social, family and healthcare experiences that can shape care.

Who it is for

  • Universities and health faculties

  • Nursing, midwifery, medicine and allied health programs

  • Hospitals and health services

  • Clinical workforces

The Whole-Person Lens

Beyond the Diagnosis is built around five domains that shape a person’s experience of care:

  • Clinical

  • Individual

  • Social

  • Family

  • Healthcare Experience

Practice prompts such as Life Outside the Clinic and What do I know vs what am I assuming? help clinicians and students apply the lens in real conversations.
