Employee Promise

Most of you will be familiar with our 4 ‘P’s - the values behind everything we do to provide the best possible care for our patients.

In order to achieve this we need to have the right culture for our staff, where individuals are able to fulfill their potential and where we feel supported by our colleagues and managers as part of a team.

Our employee promise comprises 8 different areas for the Trust to focus on. It is essentially a commitment by us, as an organisation, to continue creating the right environment at the Trust and for staff to feel empowered in their everyday jobs to live our values.
