Our People Promise

The NHS People Promise, is a promise we must all make to each other – to work together to improve the experience of working in the NHS for everyone.

The NHS People Promise is a national programme, which was launched in 2020, to raise the profile and importance of staff and the contribution they make. It sets out, in the words of those who work in the NHS, the things that matter most to them and what would most improve their working experience, such as health and wellbeing support, flexible working and to feel we all belong.

 

 

When things go wrong, we need to make sure that lessons are learnt and things are improved. If we think something might go wrong, it’s important that we all feel able to speak up so that potential harm is prevented.

Taking the time to thank our teams for doing a good job and recognise those who go ‘the extra mile’ for our staff, patients and their families.

The NHS People Plan’s commitment to being an inclusive organisation is fundamental for me. I want every member of staff to be certain that they can bring their whole self to work every day, so we can get the very best from all our diversity.

Paul Devlin, Trust Chair
