We manage three major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus a number of smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed, in addition to our state-of-the-art Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, the first of its kind in England. We also care for people in their homes and provide services from facilities in local communities such as health centres. We give people greater choice and control over their care to help them to live independently at home and avoid hospital admission where appropriate. High quality patient care is at the heart of everything we do and we strive to ensure every single patient and service user has an exceptional experience with us. We have one of the most extensive patient experience programmes of any trust in England.
The way we relate to each other, the way that we do our work needs to be reflective of our Trust’s values. We all, regardless of role or seniority have an obligation to make sure that we live by our values.
Our values are:
- Patients First
- Safe & High quality Care
- Responsibility & Accountability
- Respect
- Everyone’s contribution counts
- To demonstrate our core values and behaviours
