Time Matters
Our philosophy is that time matters. Dealing with health issues can be stressful, both for the patient and for those who care for them. There is the necessary stress of the health need and the emotional effort of caring.
However, too often the complexity of the health and care system adds unnecessary stress.
At the heart of this is time.
Time is important to everyone whether as patients, as family or carers or as staff delivering care.
We will improve services to make every moment count.
There’s no place like home
1 in 5 of our staff work out and about in the community.
Our NHS teams are supporting local people to stay in control of their health at home.
When people need care in hospital, we are committed to getting them home again as soon as possible.
We can join the dots between care at home and hospitals.
