Over70% of staff agreed that: “If a friend or relative needed treatment, I would be happy with the standard of care provided by this organisation.” It is a fantastic achievement and validates all our hard work to ensure our staff have the best possible working environment and the support they need to fulfil their roles. However, we want to continuously improve and our Good to Great strategy will enable us to do this.Our values are at the heart of everything we do so that we deliver an experience that is consistently welcoming, kind, positive, respectful and professional. This is 4reflected in the way that we interact with service users and in the way that we support our staff.
