Essential training for all nurses, midwives and care workers
This engaging e-learning resource takes a fresh look at the nature of care and compassion in health and social care services. It is designed to support the work of all nurses, midwives and care staff.
Interactive exercises give you the chance to re-evaluate your beliefs, explore new insights and look at ways to enhance care and compassion in your own area of practice.
The programme focuses on six main areas of action:
- helping people to stay independent, maximise well-being and improve outcomes
- working with people to provide a positive experience of care
- delivering high-quality care and measuring the impact
- building and strengthening leadership
- ensuring we have the right staff with the right skills in the right place
- supporting positive staff experiences
These areas are all aligned to the UK health and social care sector’s ‘Vision for Nurses, Midwives and Care Staff’, although the themes are relevant to healthcare organisations globally.
High-quality learning for health and social care professionals
During the programme, you will examine the value and significance of the six ‘Cs’ that underpin all health and social care services – care, compassion, competence, communication, courage and commitment – and identify what users want to see exhibited as compassionate care.
Accessible online, Compassion in Practice is an essential resource for all health and social care professionals.
