Abstract

The prominence of the caring dimension has never had such a high profile in healthcare practice before.

As a result of this, the Leadership in Compassionate Care Project has evolved. A unique feature is the partnership between Edinburgh Napier University and NHS Lothian. Engaging with and helping qualified and student nurses to value and promote the delivery of compassionate care is a primary focus of the project.

This article outlines key policy drivers, the project’s four main strands, and the aims, processes and perceived impact on practice.
