Skills

Respect and dignity We value each person as an individual, for example, respect their aspirations and commitments in life, and seek to understand their priorities, needs, abilities and limits For example, I always respect my patients carers and families in care decisions

Commitment to quality of care I focus on making a positive impact on individuals' lives, supporting recovery, promoting independence, and helping people lead healthier lives For example, I would off a diabetic patient alternative to sugar and biscuits
Compassion By demonstrating compassion, understanding, and kindness to each patient I give patient-centred care, treating people with dignity and compassion, particularly in trying times Throughout their medical journey I can make sure that patients feel supported, valued, and cared for by paying attention to their emotional and physical needs For example, sitting for a few minutes and talking to my patients and carers, to get an understanding of their medical history
Working together for patients I always work with the wider MDT team in prioritising patient care and escalating concerns and tasks For example, if the doctor prescribes IV fluids and Time critical medication I make sure I escalate this to the staff nurse straight away
for them to administer

Everyone counts I believe in treating everyone with equal respect, dignity, and fairness, ensuring no one is left behind You provide inclusive care that values the diverse needs and backgrounds of patients, staff, and the community By fostering a supportive, non-judgmental environment,
