What do we mean by Culture of Care?
Put simply, we mean a culture which feels like Care is at the centre of it – that patients and staff feel cared for and are able to provide the care they want to for others.
In 2023, NHS England convened a group with strong representation from the sector, lived experience leadership and involvement, and people who experience inequality in accessing and using mental health services, to develop a set of Culture of Care standards that describe in detail what this means.
These standards form the bedrock of the programme and underpin all of our design and delivery.
