We live our values every day

Our values determine who we are, how we live our lives, how we treat people and every decision that we make. It is important for us as a health and social care provider to have the right values. It is even more important to have a workforce that shares these values.

We have 5 co-produced values that represent what we stand for. Each value has a clearly defined list of behaviours that help us to translate them into day-to-day actions.
