Hi Charlotte

I am new to this too! I am a Radiographer working as an advanced
practitioner in the breast care centre. What is your background? Maybe
we could liaise.

Hi Karen and Emma,

Thank you for your reply.
I am currently working as a outpt assistant in oncology outpts.
Have been doing this for about 3 years.
I was asked to do this role as i got involved in benchmarking.
I was trying to come up with ideas of how we could improve.
I was thinking of putting together a file that staff would be able to use.
maybe some kind of posters etc

Many thanks
charlotte

I think that would be useful, I down loaded the information that Karen
mentioned and am having a read through to see if I can think of any ideas
for the carers at work. I am manager of a Domiciliary care agency and really
want dignity in care to be promoted.
I would love to hear any ideas or share opinions on any new ideas

Regards
Emma

Hi Emma

I have read most of the dignity in care publication over the weekend and
it identifies lots of really useful work that has already been done. I
am about to launch a domiciliary care service (June), but currently
manage a community support team and also oversee quality in the care
homes that we own. Loads to do!!
