Our vision and values
Our vision and values are at the heart of all we do.
Our vision was developed in 2017 and is underpinned by a set of core values that we refreshed during 2013. We did this in consultation with service users, carers, staff, governors and other partners.
These values ensure we strive to provide the best care, delivered by the best people, to achieve the best outcomes. Quality and safety are key areas for us, and we will ensure that our values are reflected in all we do.
At Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust, we are committed to developing services of the highest quality that consequently enable and empower our service users to reach their potential and live fulfilling lives.
