People coming in to hospital want to be treated with respect and dignity by health care workers who have theĀ time, resources and training needed to keep them safe and well cared for. The research in this theme aims to understand how things can go wrong and to identify systems and approaches to care that ensure peopleĀ experience the best possible nursing care in hospital. The work will be guided by a priority setting group which will include patients and members of the public to ensure that it focusses on what matters most to people.
