My year as National Dignity Ambassador

Abstract:

This report is a personal testimony from Michael Parkinson of his first year as the National Dignity Ambassador, a figurehead for the Government’s Dignity in Care Campaign. His role is to help raise awareness of the campaign and to provide a focus for publicity to bring the campaign to the attention of the public. The aim is to ensure dignified care for all by getting staff and the public to talk about what dignity in care actually means and inspiring everyone involved to take action. The report describes the visits he has made, the people he has met, and the stories he has heard, both good and bad, over the course of the year. He ends the report with an appeal for the Government, the media, and organisations that represent the public, patients, staff and care providers to continue to work to get across the message ‘Dignity for all’.
