The commitment of Irish HomeCare and the South West Region of HSE to developing high quality, compassionate care for all those they serve and who provide care is inspiring in these challenging times, writes Professor Michael West CBE The Kings Fund.
By signing the Compassionate Leadership Pledge, both organizations and all their leaders are committing to a long term strategy of implementing a continuous culture change to ensure that compassion – that most fundamental of human values – is at the heart of their work. They are committing to deeply embedding compassionate behaviours into all their services, processes and interactions for the benefit of all the people of Ireland. It is the foundation for a country-wide movement that all organizations can commit to with a vision of promoting Compassionate Ireland as a model for the rest of the world”
