Summary: 

This is Sir Michael Parkinson's personal account of his year as the nation's dignity ambassador. In his report he talks about how and why he got involved in the Dignity in Care Campaign, the places he has visited, people he has met along the way and experiences of the services available. He praises the people who inspired him and highlights small steps that cost nothing but make a real difference to people's lives. He also calls for out-of-date stereotypes of older people to be banished and for dignity to be at the heart of care.
