Our values guide the decisions we make every day
• Patients First - Patients, their families and carers are at the heart of what we do. Their
experience of our services will be our measure of success.
• Working Together - Partnership between clinicians, patients and carers is critical to achieving
our vision, both within hospital teams and extending across organisational boundaries in the
NHS, social care and third sector.
• Always Improving - We will ensure we are always improving services for patients through,
inclusive and collaborative leadership, research, education, clinical effectiveness and quality
improvement. We will continue to incorporate new ideas, technologies and create greater
efficiencies in the services we provide.
UHS is different from any other NHS trust. We're a centre of clinical academic excellence where new
treatments are being discovered, new healthcare professionals are being trained and cutting edge
developments are being put into practice. But it isn't what we do that makes us special. It's the way we
do it.
We always listen to our patients and work with them to find solutions to their healthcare needs. And our
staff treat each other with compassion and respect, just as they would their patients.
We think working here is pretty amazing and if you share the same values as us then we think you'd love
it too.
