Our values

“Our new values will equip us to look ahead to deal with increasing health inequalities and complex medical problems and explore what we can do to reduce the burden of disease upon patient populations.”

Staff member

Our values are our guide through the exciting and challenging times that lie ahead, and they will help us achieve our vision for a modern, integrated and outstanding PAHT.

Patient at heart

Always holding the patient and their wellbeing at the centre of our thoughts and efforts.

Everyday excellence

Sharing and celebrating our successes, being honest when we get it wrong, giving us the ability to learn from both.

Creative collaboration

Knowing strength comes from diversity, we combine our experiences, skills and talents, working together to find new and better ways to care.

We aim to live by our values every day

Our values are the golden thread running through everything we do. They have been developed by our people and reflect what is most important to them in their daily work.

To embed our values, we are introducing values-based appraisals and new staff recruitment processes, as well as a new behaviour charter setting out what we expect from ourselves and each other.
