National Dignity Conference 31.01.2020

Roisin attended the National 2020 Dignity Conference in her role as a Dignity Champion and Trustee for the charity. The purpose of the conference was to collaborate with others in the country and attendees included a variety of people from those with lived experience to professionals from the NHS, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE), Skills for Care as well as providers. Each representative provided thought provoking insights into their personal and professional experiences of ‘Dignity’, what it means to them and what others are doing around the country to champion ‘Dignity in Care’.

Attendance at these events helps with the development of understanding around the importance of ‘Dignity in Care’, best practice and keeping up to date about the topic by listening and learning from others. With a theme of collaborating with kindness, respect and compassion, the growing network of Dignity Champions across the country is truly remarkable.
