The Prince of Wales has called for a national health service with more compassion.
Writing in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Prince Charles called for a service that accounts for "the core human elements of mind, body and spirit" as well as disease.
He urged medical professionals to develop a "healing empathy" to help patients find their own path to health.
The Patient's Association said "compassion" was "lacking" in the NHS.
