Respect for Patients. Melanie Hawes, who qualified in 1969, remembers:
I can remember one of the ward sisters, probably Miss Hall on Harmsworth, saying that one of our primary duties and concerns was to treat our patients like 'honoured guests'. That meant that you didn't call them by their Christian name, you didn't call them 'Ducky' or 'Dear', you called them by their surnames and their titles. We were taught to treat them with great respect, and great care, and with what I now sum up in the word 'professionalism'. Sadly I see this lacking these days. The privacy and dignity of our patients became second nature to us. It wasn't something that had to be laid down in a government white paper about how we treat patients. That should not be necessary. In our training it was absolutely inherent in everything that we did.
