Care, Compassion, Courage, Commitment, Communication and Competence: The 6 Cs

Abstract

These are words we are all very familiar with and perhaps already some of you may be thinking ‘oh no not again’. In the document One Year On (NHS England/Nursing Directorate 2013), comments from patients have been positive on the care they have received, but can we with hand on heart say it happens on a national scale at all times? This may be a reason for the continued requests for the inclusion of the six Cs as a topic for educational days.
