Hello Sally,

It is an interesting question, but I think 'campaign' implies rather too much strategy.

I see Dignity in Care as a collection of people who are aware that various people and patients, are treated less respectfully, and less as individuals and not 'clinical cases', than this collection of people consider should be the case.

So I see the usefulness of Dignity in Care, as the existence of its members, who will be pushing for improved 'respectful care' however they are able to - not so much a campaign, as a movement ? But a movement with 'mini-campaigns' within it, as such campaigns make sense.
