Mindfulness Conference, Brookfield , Sept 17 2016.

'Mindfulness is a concept which is developing great momentum in the health sector and its relationship to compassion is intrinsically motivating'

As healthcare professionals cope with increasing patient acuity and higher levels of throughput, it becomes even
more important to address humanity within the process, dealing compassionately with staff so that they in turn
can do the same for patients. 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 Healthcare
professionals which underpins the three core values Compassion, Care and Commitment which were identified and
agreed from a national consultation process with nurses and midwifes.
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.
