Since being a Care Maker I have had a number of opportunities to attend conferences aimed at all of the multidisciplinary team. These conferences have enhanced the care that I give to my patients but also how I communicate with members of my team. In the short space of time since being a Care Maker my confidence has grown and I have since spoken at several conferences in front of hundreds of people. Without Care Makers I doubt if I would have had the courage to do this

BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing, University of Bedfordshire.
I have been a Care maker for a very short time but I was instantly struck by the community spirit that being a Care maker brings. It allows the 6 C’s to be at the forefront of my mind during my studies, placements and as a bank therapy assistant in my local acute hospital. As a student Occupational Therapist I am promoting my personal values, my professional bodies code of ethics as well as the Trusts commitment to compassion in practice.
Kirsty O'Driscoll, Student Occupational Therapist
I love being a Care Maker because it gives me the opportunity to express my passion for quality nursing. The networking opportunities gives me an opportunity to learn from others experience and to think of innovative ways of ensuring that my practice is grounded with solid knowledge gleaned from peers and research.
I have conducted sessions with 1st year students about the 6c's and have found this to be an inspiration. To see minds transform with the concept of words and practice. The University of Hertfordshire have integrated the 6c's in it's curriculum and I am proud to part of the change. I have recently completed my course and have been approached to be a positive role model for the University. I love the engagement of different ideas and settings and have been amazed by what people think. Charlotte Wilson, University of Hertfordshire
