“Be a champion for dignity, says Carter”
Dr Peter Carter, the Chief Executive & General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, has called for every member to be a champion of patient dignity in his speech today at the RCN’s Annual Congress in Bournemouth.
His call for action comes as a survey released by the RCN at the weekend reveals eight out of ten nurses are distressed by their inability to deliver the dignified care that patients deserve.
