Description
Privacy and Dignity in Care
The course is designed for health care professionals, such as nurses, doctors, and care workers, who are looking to enhance their understanding of privacy and dignity in care and improve the quality of care they provide to patients.
It also provides advice for anyone who cares for a loved one in their home.
Many carers are professional, well-trained and competent to offer physical care to their patients, but they must understand the emotional and psychological needs of the people they care for; to be treated in a way that strengthens their self-esteem and helps maintain their autonomy.
