"I know that respect and dignity are core values of the NHS, and I demonstrate those values in the workplace in my everyday interactions with patients, their families, and other staff members. I always consider the other person's perspective because putting myself in their shoes helps me be more empathetic and understanding of their feelings or the reason they are acting a certain way. Being a patient can be stressful, so I maintain a positive attitude and calm demeanour, never gossiping, speaking ill of anyone, or complaining. If a patient or colleague is speaking to me, I stop what I'm doing and actively listen so they know I value and care about what they are saying. I maintain a tidy appearance in uniform and also take care to make sure my workstation is neat and orderly as well."
