Our Vision and Values

At Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust we strive to be 'Making a Difference' in all that we do.

We know that our staff come to work to ‘Make a Difference’, and to do this we all need to work together and to live and breathe our Trust values:

Trust, Honesty, Respect, Compassion and Teamwork.

Our values were developed using feedback from colleagues, service users, patients and carers and represent the things that we all think best describe what is most important to Nottinghamshire Healthcare. 

Our values shape our culture and are at the heart of everything we do in our working lives. Living our values every day enables people and teams to do what they need to do to the very best of their ability.
