What Is Civility Saves Lives?
A Movement Backed by Research and Built by Healthcare Professionals
Civility Saves Lives is a national clinician-led initiative that raises awareness of the profound impact that behaviour, including rudeness has on performance, wellbeing, and patient safety within a healthcare setting.
Our message is simple: how we treat each other at work matters. Even small acts of incivility can reduce diagnostic accuracy, worsen outcomes, and drive staff away. But respectful, compassionate communication creates safer, more effective teams.
✅ Evidence-based
✅ NHS-aligned
✅ Delivered by our experienced team with national reach
A collection of toolkits and resources that help with the question; what to do about civility/incivility
