Our vision and values

We asked...

As a new Trust we wanted to bring all five hospitals and 12,500 team members together.

‘We’ looked at our ‘Why?’, our fundamental purpose, the thing that guides all we do.

‘We’ looked at our ‘How?’, the way we’re going to behave - with each other, our patients, partners and the public we serve.

‘We’ looked at the ‘What?’, the big steps we must take in the future.

We did this through Big Conversations…


You said...

More than 1,000 staff attended face-to-face Big Conversations and a further 2,000 contributed their ideas to our new vision and values. Through 8,500 contributions they said…
 

Together We make a difference, We save lives and give excellent care to everyone who needs it. We will become the best place to work, learn and receive care in the NHS by applying the highest level of skill, knowledge and research.

Our how...

When thinking about the how? – our staff have created a set of values and behaviours that are stretching and inspiring in equal measures. These will be our UHDB promises. They are powerful messages and will shape how we care for others and care for each other. These are Compassion, Openness and Excellence.
