WELCOME...
Welcome to the new Human Rights in Healthcare website which has been set up as part of the Human Rights in Healthcare Programme.
The aim of the website is to promote a human rights based approach in health and social care and be a web resource where people interested in, and preferably passionate about, a human rights based approach to healthcare can share experience, learn and make links on line.
Launch of Human Rights in Healthcare Network
The second Human Rights in Healthcare Network Event was held in Liverpool in October 2011 and attended by about 25 people.
Launch of the “Speaking Up For Myself, Standing Up For Human Rights” Booklet
In April, Mersey Care NHS Trust launched the “Speaking Up For Myself, Standing Up For Human Rights” Booklet. A group of people with learning disabilities wanted to share what they had learned about human rights. They decided that FREDA is a woman and “she is for everybody”. “Her name stands for Fairness, Respect, Equality, Dignity and Autonomy”. Read the FREDA booklet and find out about their personal experiences of human rights and what FREDA says.
