Poppy’s Promise is an initiative supporting NHS staff in providing care that is compassionate, kind & patient-centred.
At the heart of Poppy’s Promise is the CARE principle:
- Compassion
- Acknowledgement
- Respect
- Empowerment
CARE is not an additional task; it is the foundation of every interaction. Embedding CARE into everyday practice ensures compassion is not left to chance — it becomes a consistent, visible part of how care is delivered.
Our libraries are supporting Poppy's Promise by providing books around topics such communication skills, care and empowerment. We've prepared a resource list of books and are adding more to the collection.
