The dignity and the autonomy of older people are often undermined in healthcare settings and there is a growing emphasis to challenge practice to ensure that they older people receive dignified care.  We run courses which help care professionals to improve the care they provide, and to address internal organisational and cultural barriers that result in a loss of dignity of patients:

  • DIGNITY IS MORE THAN A WORD is for professionals and carers who want to improve their communication with patients
  • DIGNIFIED CARE DESPITE DIFFICULT COLLEAGUES is for professionals who want to improve their organisation′s approach to dignity and respect
  • USING HUMAN RIGHTS TO IMPROVE DIGNITY IN CARE SETTINGS
