| Résumé : |
In the midwifery code of conduct, it states that compassion is a necessary value in nursing and midwifery, establishing its importance in the very foundations that midwifery care is built upon (Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (2018).
In 2013, the Francis report demonstrated how integral compassion was to midwifery and nursing practice by embedding it within the '6Cs' of health care (Francis 2013). However, almost a decade after the Francis report, the Ockenden report demonstrated that compassion in midwifery staff is still lacking (National Maternity Review 2020). The report, which incorporated the voices of over 1 ,000 parents, further highlights the requirement to instil compassion in health care staff (National Maternity Review 2020). This article aims to explore why compassion is still lacking in maternity, from a service provider and leader perspective. Examples will be used with respect to socially complex clients from the author's place of work, to provide insight into current practice with a recommendation to implement a teaching programme to promote compassion among midwifery staff. |
