All healthcare organisations, the NHS included, value and promote compassionate care for patients, whether it be in emergency care, clinics, care homes, etc. Compassion can be shown to patients in several ways, such as going the extra mile to ensure they are comfortable, building trusting relationships with them and their families, or showing genuine interest when interacting. Gives ways, big or small, that you demonstrate compassion to your patients in the workplace.

"Emergency care assistants are often the first team members patients meet and interact with, so first impressions are important. I try to relate to patients and their families by listening to their situation, empathizing, and striving to understand their emotions and what has occurred that led to this event we're responding to. It can be a very stressful time for patients and their families or friends, so I want to reduce their anxiety and demonstrate that I genuinely care about them and their well-being, and I'll do all that I can to help them. My motto is to always treat my patients like I'd want my family member to be treated."
