CARE values
Together, we CARE
Our CARE Values were developed through engagement with colleagues, patients, service users and volunteers. They set out our ambition to provide outstanding care to the people we serve and each other.
They are the foundation for the way we work and interact, creating positive behaviours and promoting an open inclusive culture that embraces diversity within our organisation.
They include:
C - Communicating and Working together.
A - Aspiring and Improving.
R - Respectful, Inclusive and Caring.
E - Efficient and Safe.
Our CARE values were developed through engagement with our people, patients, service users and volunteers. In October 2023 we refreshed our CARE values to show our ongoing commitment to empower our people, to support one another and to deliver outstanding care to our patients.
The CARE values were relaunched during 2023 to ensure the organisation remembers the very heart of our culture and supports us on our journey to providing consistently outstanding care.
Our colleagues at Sherwood Forest Hospitals bring our values to life in everything they do. View our staff stories below to find out more.
