Have your say on the future of nursing and care |
The independent Nursing and Care Quality Forum would like to hear your views on the quality of nursing and care, and how you think this could be improved.
The Nursing and Care Quality Forum's aim is to help all those involved in providing nursing and care, in all care settings, to:
• deliver the fundamental elements of good care – compassion, dignity, respect and safety – first time, every time and to everyone
• achieve their ambition of providing the very highest quality of care through supporting the adoption of best practice and promoting innovation.
In doing so, the Forum wants professional pride to be reignited and public confidence restored in the quality of nursing and care.
Please send your views by 11 May.
