Our purpose, vision and values

We are committed to being an organisation that consistently delivers excellent, compassionate care - each and every time. It's what the one million people across our communities deserve.

Our bold ambitions are details in our Trust strategy.

Our strategy has been developed in response to over 7000 pieces of feedback from colleagues, patients, health and care partners and our local communities, through face to face and online conversations. Collectively, these ambitions and ideas have informed our strategy and we now have a roadmap that details how together, our 14,500 people, and our partners will make UHDB a better place to work, learn and receive care.
 

"Together, with our partners, we will make a difference through acute and community care that is personalised, preventative and effective for everyone who needs it. We will be an excellent place to work, learn, and receive care by applying the highest level of skill, knowledge, and research."

Exceptional and compassionate care, each and every time has been our mission since we became UHDB in 2019, but this refreshed strategy set out our ambitions and reflects the health and care system that we operate in today.

The strategy is carved up into five key themes, which each have five-year goals.

Our strategy is underpinned by behaviours and values which will help us to support each other to deliver the consistently high-quality care our communities deserve, and to make UHDB a welcoming, inclusive place to work and learn.
