Our vision, mission and values

Our vision and values set out our ambitions and the core set of behaviours and beliefs that guide us in what we say and do. These were developed following a lot of work with our staff and stakeholders to make sure we got them right, and we have continued to work together to embed them into our everyday work and develop a shared culture.

Our vision

We will:

• Deliver excellent care to our patients and communities collaboratively with all our health and social care partners.
• Deliver safe, effective and high-quality patient care.
• Support an engaged, healthy, diverse, and resilient workforce.
• Contribute to the sustainability of local healthcare services

Our mission

“To start well, live, well, age well”. 

We want everyone in our geography to have a great start in life and to have the opportunities and support they need to stay healthy and to age well.

Our values

Our Trust values are simple, enduring and heartfelt:

• We are Kind
• We are Open
• We pursue Excellence

Our Chief Executive Simon Morritt, introduces our new co-created Trust values, with colleagues talking through what the behaviours are that underpin the new values of Kindness, Openness and Excellence.
