Newcastle Hospitals vision and purpose

Our values

Kind

We treat everyone with compassion and understanding. Every interaction with patients, colleagues, partners and our communities is grounded in empathy and care. We look out for one another and offer support when it’s needed. We show kindness in how we care for our environment.

Respectful

We treat people fairly, and with dignity at all times. We create an environment where everyone feels safe, welcomed and able to speak up. We challenge inappropriate behaviour and do not tolerate discrimination, bullying or harassment.

Inclusive team

We are strongest when we work together. We value the different backgrounds, identities, experiences and perspectives people bring, and we work collaboratively across teams, services and systems to achieve better outcomes for the people and communities we serve.

Our ambition

Our ambition is to be an organisation that people are proud to be part of, trust for their care and value as a partner in improving health outcomes.
