Theme 3: Fundamental Care in Hospital

Patients want to be treated with respect and dignity by healthcare workers who have the time, resources and training to keep them safe and well cared for. Our research follows a priority setting exercise that included patients and public. We aim to understand how excellent care can be delivered, to identify systems and approaches to care so that people experience the best possible nursing care.
