What are the 6c’s of care?

One of the guiding principles in providing high-quality, person centered care is the concept of the 6 Cs of care, which stand for Care, Compassion, Competence, Communication, Courage and Commitment.

These 6 Cs form the foundation of effective care, ensuring that individuals receive not only the treatment they need but also the respect, empathy, and dignity they deserve.

What does each C mean?

Care – providing assistance to individuals with empathy, attention, and respect for their needs.

Compassion – in the context of care, compassion means actively listening to clients and their families, offering reassurance, and showing kindness, even in challenging situations.

Competence – having the necessary skills, knowledge and abilities to provide safe and effective care.

Communication – whether communication is between care, with clients or with their families, good communication is vital in any healthcare setting.

Courage – courage in healthcare often involves standing up for what is right, even when it’s difficult. This could mean advocating for a client’s needs, challenging unsafe practices, or speaking up about concerns.

Commitment – reflects a dedication to always providing the best possible care. This value emphasises reliability, perseverance, and consistency.
