Our Vision Mission and Values all contain the word quotexcellencequot Excellence is an upwardly moving target what was excellent last year may no longer be excellent today As standards become higher we should never become complacent
Our Values are in four dimensions our relationships with our patients with the Hospital with our colleagues and with our community For example for the value of Respect we will respect the families and children we look after no matter who they are or where they are from We will respect the Hospital as an outstanding institution of which we are proud We will respect the roles of our colleagues particularly those for whom we may have responsibility and we will respect the faith the community has in our work A similar fourdimensional view applies to each of our Values
