Key Takeaways
Dignity as a core value
Launched in 2006, the campaign seeks to put respect at the heart of all UK care. It focuses on changing the culture of health services to ensure that every patient’s experience is defined by kindness and quality.
Inspiring community action
Dignity Action Month in February reminds us that upholding dignity is not just for professionals. Families, friends, and neighbours all play a vital role in promoting a culture of compassion within their local communities.
Guarding fundamental rights
Treating people with dignity is more than just “being nice”; it is a fundamental human right. The campaign aims to ensure that dignity is the main priority in every interaction and healthcare decision.

Dignity in Care
It has been 18 years since the Dignity in Care campaign was launched in November 2006. The aim of this cause is to put dignity and respect at the heart of UK care services. The campaign’s core values are about having dignity in our hearts, minds and actions, changing the culture of health and care services, and placing a greater emphasis on improving the quality and experience of care.
Dignity Action February
The first Dignity Action Day was on 26th February 2010. It aimed to inspire staff and local people. It encouraged them to put kindness and respect at the heart of their communities. Dignity Action Month raises awareness for everyone. It shows that we all have a role in upholding dignity. This is not just a job for healthcare professionals.
