Our culture and values

To achieve this we keep 3 simple values at the heart of everything we do…

We Are Caring

We know how important our service is to the people in the region we serve, and we want to do everything we can to celebrate each other, champion our successes and provide the best possible quality of care in a critical situation.

We Are Courageous

We have the courage to: try new things, take measured risks, speak up and innovate in our field.

Our team never know what they will encounter on any given day. We have strong resilience, know when to ask for help and are never afraid to be the lone voice that could make a positive difference in someone’s life.

We Are Committed

We are committed to; our purpose, the people we serve, the quality of our work, doing a good job.

Even in the most difficult of circumstances, we work together to solve problems, learn from each other and take pride in spreading our mission across the North.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
