Our vision is building a healthier future together. This means we aspire to be an innovative organisation, delivering compassionate and safe patient care to the people we serve. We also want to be outstanding in everything we do, to maximise the positive impact we have on people's lives.
Achieving this requires a well-led and motivated workforce, so our
vision is underpinned by a set of values and behaviours, which have
been co-produced with staff and patients.
All roles within the Trust require staff to demonstrate our core values in the care they provide to patients. All members of staff should consider these behaviours an essential part of their job role.
