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

This Hospital is incredibly complex in terms of the interdependencies needed to make it work well We all contribute to the care of sick children For those delivering clinical care this is obvious For others in corporate services finance community relations and information technology it is less obvious but just as true It is this interdependence when we work as a team respecting each others contributions which will help us achieve our vision of excellence in child health care
