Are you a Health Care Support Worker? The RCN Northern region has an exciting a learning event opportunity for you, designed to give you the opportunity to discuss the principles and clinical practices that support the delivery of high quality, compassionate care. 

The Francis Report shone the spotlight on the central importance of compassionate care delivery, and the need for all health care professionals to put this at the heart of everything we do. This learning event will allow you to look in detail at the sometimes complex issues around dignity, empathy, and compassion during caring activities. The contribution made by Health Care Support Workers to care delivery will also be explored, together with the changing nature of this role.

The event will run from 10.00am - 3.30pm.

Entry is £5.00 for members, and £10.00 for non members. This will include lunch.
