The professors of History of Science at the Miguel Hernández University in Elche, Rosa Ballester and Enrique Perdiguero, have agreed on the need for training in communicative tools for medical staff with the aim of promoting empathy and understanding in the relationship between professionals and patients, but are aware that cultural and social aspects and the health organization itself make it complicated.

In the first of the conferences, "Compasión, filantropía y humanitarismo sanitario contemporáneo en clave histórica" ["Compassion, philanthropy and contemporary health humanitarianism in a historical key"], professor Rosa Ballester, a permanent academician of the Royal Academy of Medicine and Related Sciences of the Valencian Community, has made a historical journey through the different stages of humanitarianism, which would begin with the Enlightenment movement, which promotes an ethic of compassion for others manifested in the creation of institutions of Charity, the Declaration of the Rights of Men, the abolition of slavery, or concern about the high rate of infant mortality.

In the second conference, "Cultura profesional versus cultura profana: la relación médico-paciente desde la antropología médica" ["Professional culture versus profane culture: the doctor-patient relationship from medical anthropology"], professor Enrique Perdiguero assured that "there is a lack of training in communication between medical and healthcare professionals, because the necessary tools to establish good communication are not offered and not everyone has them", although he stressed that associations linked to family medicine do have specific training in this field for this group.
