Compassionate Conversations Training

[Khandro]

The NHS is recruiting a supplier to deliver “compassionate conversations training” to 14,000 front facing NHS staff in a publicly funded contract worth a mind-boggling £3 million. The contract tender, which was published yesterday and closes on 5 November 2021, says the aim is to equip NHS staff with “the skills they need to handle challenging situations with compassion whilst ensuring they feel able to look after their own wellbeing if needed”.

Aren't nurses & doctors compassionate enough ? I'm sure sqad was.

Since my health took a nosedive 2 years ago I have to say that the staff at Guy's Hospital London and the Royal County Hospital Brighton plus the nurses who treated me at home were absolutely lovely. I couldn't have wished for better treatment and it's sad to read this is not the case for everyone.

I'm not sure why they are bothering. Along with other public sector industries, it's not like the 'customers' have a choice do they?

I thought compassion come with the job?
Unbelievable, how some people are spoken to, like Mamya.
Totally void of feelings. Scary.
Shame all that money has to be spent...

Thank you, you don't expect gushing but a tad of sympathy goes a long way.
