Nurses in drive for 'compassionate care'{uk}
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-20583115More emphasis should be placed on nurses providing compassionate care in hospitals, industry leaders have said.
In a new campaign aimed at reassuring the public, chief nursing officer for England Jane Cummings said action must be taken to ensure the values nurses stand for are not betrayed.
The call comes amid concern over reported neglect and abuse in hospitals and care homes.
The Patients Association said the plans must be translated into action.
