Our mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of everyone in Somerset and to deliver outstanding integrated care by supporting our colleagues and nurturing an inclusive culture of kindness, respect and teamwork.
Our vision is – thriving colleagues, integrated care, healthier people.
Our vision is supported by shared values that were developed by our colleagues across our range of services. They are kindness, respect and teamwork. We strive to use them in our work every day, to develop a compassionate, inclusive and learning culture. We put our values at the heart of our service planning, recruitment and the operational running of services for patients.
