Résumé

A course in compassion-based care (CBC) was delivered to mental health staff at a hospital in north-west England, with the intention of rehabilitating ward culture and, subsequently, improving patient experience. to explore staff experiences of participating in the CBC course. a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with participants ( five themes characterising participant experience emerged from the data: meeting a need; creating the space; reorientation; prioritising self-care; and influencing team dynamics. Data overwhelmingly indicated the success of the CBC course. the CBC course appeared to have a profound effect on participants; it should be considered for further rollout and evaluation.
