JF - Future Hospital Journal JO - Future Hosp J SP - 221 LP - 223 DO - 10.7861/futurehosp.2-3-221 VL - 2 IS - 3 AU - Daniel D Melley Y1 - 2015/10/01 UR - http://www.rcpjournals.org/content/2/3/221.abstract N2 - The Future Hospital Commission acknowledges that the principal challenge for healthcare organisations and professionals is to accept the fundamental requirement that patients must be treated with compassion, kindness and respect while having their physical and emotional needs met at all times.

The theme in this edition is leadership. ER -
