Being Brilliant and the 6 C’s of Nursing –Our Nursing Vision.

• Care is our core business; care defines us. People receiving care expect it to be right for them consistently through every stage of their life
• Compassion is how we care through relationships based on empathy, respect and dignity
• Competence means having the ability to understand an individual’s needs and the expertise, clinical and technical knowledge to deliver effective care and treatments based on research and evidence
• Communication is central to the caring relationship; listening is important, as what we say and do is essential
• Courage to enable us to do the right thing, to speak up, to have personal strength
• Commitment to our patients, to improve care, and the experience of our patients.
Being Brilliant principles.
20.
'Brilliance' is about:- Choosing to have a positive attitude;- Developing emotional intelligence;- Going the extra mile and- Bouncing back when times are tough.
The question we ask is, “why be ordinary…when you can be brilliant?‘”
Our strategy is inspired and supported by the work of Andy Cope and Andy Whittaker from 'The Art of Being Brilliant.'
