We are
- committed to ensuring our staff have the autonomy to influence decisions on how care is structured and delivered to create a culture of innovation, whilst continually striving to generate opportunities to improve clinical outcomes in a supportive culture.
We will
- focus on using evidence, research and best practice to underpin our delivery of patient care to reduce avoidable harm. Our Harm Free Care Leaders in each clinical area will have expert knowledge and skills to lead improvement and reduce patient harm.
- continue to provide the highest quality, compassionate care to our patients and their families demonstrating continuous improvement year on year, measured by local, national and international clinical and professional standards.
- support patients to make informed choices about their own health and wellbeing whilst continually learning from their experience to improve quality of care and the services we provide, in our hospitals, our outreach clinics and in the community.
