Dignity Ward is a resource designed by A Dignified Revolution, a campaign group established in January 2008 to improve the care of older people in hospital. Patients can become vulnerable when they are admitted to hospital and their rights might be diminished by their situation. Dignity Ward is designed for nurses to increase their knowledge of the Human Rights Act and help them to think about how they can use it to help protect an individual’s human rights on the ward. It considers relevant human rights in hospitals and what constitutes a breach of human rights. Real life examples are used to encourage discussion about how practice might be used.
