The Need for more Compassionate Care

Hitting the BBC news headlines today are reports of how Government Ministers recognise the urgent need for our nurses and caring staff to be trained with better compassionate care skills http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-21922998 a matter that Dignity Trainer and Ambassador for the topic, Amanda Waring, has been fighting to improve standards with for the past few years.

Ever since the death of her mother and the first hand experience of undignified care received through her later stages of life, Amanda has been compelled to make a difference to the attitude and delivery of care for others.

Echoing the statements she has been making, the BBC article discusses how Ministers advise that a minimum care standard should be imposed for hands-on staff and Amanda couldn't agree more. 'Staff working with vulnerable and dependent individuals need emotional intelligence and this can be taught. With the right teachings, structures and support, we can make the changes that are so vital within our society.'

Training nationally and internationally, Amanda has become widely recognised as one of the world’s leading compassion and dignity trainers, with her award winning resources and materials further endorsing her understanding of the very public but personal topic.
