Compassion “putting yourself in the patients shoes”

Nurses in Management & Leadership Conference 2014

Compassion to me...........

“It is simply the transfer of love and kindness from one person to

another”.

Compassion for each other

Diane Hull – Deputy Director of Nursing ELFT The best definition of compassion I have ever

heard.........................“ when my patients come to me they are very

ill. They have lost all hope , they are hopeless. My compassion allows me to hold onto their hope long enough until they are well enough that I can hand their hope back to them”

Lets ask our own definition of what compassion

is.......

Compassion is an action – its up to you to act!
