As healthcare professionals cope with increasing patient acuity and higher levels of throughput, it becomes even more important to address humanity and engagement within the process. This is the response of Bon Secours Hospital Cork in conjunction with The Catherine McAuley School of Nursing & Midwifery, University College Cork to help develop a supportive culture for patients and Healthcare professionals which underpins the three core values Compassion, Care and Commitment, and facilitates respectful patient, staff and self-engagement. The concept and practice of mindfulness has taken hold in hospitals, universities, clinics, management, and in our daily lives. The unifying theme in the growing art and science of mindfulness is an effort to lessen suffering and bring more joy and compassion in this world.
