To explore healthcare professionals' perspectives of dignified care and experiences of providing care. ⋯ Our findings show that the 'little things' in care allow professionals to 'care for' but also 'care about' patients, suggesting that these two aspects of caring become intrinsically interlinked. Our findings also suggest that 'making poor care visible' challenges engrained and task rather than human focused care in a non-threatening way, which can be the catalyst for providing care that is caring and dignified.
