The care we deliver has adapted over time to accommodate industry best practice, the changing needs of our communities and the local authorities we serve. But the constant is ensuring that our nursing care is person-centred. We recognise that no individual is the same - their likes, dislikes and life experiences determine who they are and how they like to be treated.
