Our Vision and Values

The framework was approved by Trust Board and shared at our in-person Annual Public Meeting. It describes our vision, values and goal areas.

Co-created with colleagues, patients and partners, our vision is now clear: to be leading in healthcare and trusted in communities. Colleagues said our vision should be simple, memorable, and clear about our role as a healthcare provider, and as a result we now have a vision for UHL that is captured in a single sentence and that we can all get behind.

The values we hold as we work towards our vision are vital:

• We are compassionate,
• We are proud,
• We are inclusive, and
• We are one team.
