Rights and responsibilities in providing safe care
A culture of openness is essential to ensure quality and safety in healthcare as is the need for human rights based approaches. The core values that underpin human rights are embedded in The NHS Healthcare Quality Strategy demonstrating how providing high quality care is dependent upon respect for human rights.
This session will provide delegates with an opportunity to engage with the five principles underpinning a Human Rights Based Approach – Participation, Accountability and Equality, Non-discrimination, Engagement and Legality (PANEL). Practical examples from across healthcare will be used to build an understanding of the implications of Human Rights for healthcare professionals.
