Trust vision
To provide the best mental health, learning disability, autism and community based services for the populations we serve.
Trust values
The Trust asks each member of staff to role model its values every day. These are captured in four key statements which emerged from widespread engagement and consultation with service users, their families and communities, our staff and volunteers and our partners.
- We are kind
- We are respectful
- We are always learning
- We are a team
Strategic priorities
Our strategic priorities are communicated through our Quadruple Aim; four key areas of focus which really demonstrate to our colleagues, patients and families the aims of the Trust.
Best possible care
Demand for our services has grown, we are working much more closely with our partners in Lancashire and South Cumbria to transform our services to ensure we can provide the best possible care for our patients. This means safe, timely, accessible care for all.
Improving health
We are working to improve health within our communities and with that address health inequalities, so that those who need our services most can access them, supporting them in whatever stage of their mental and physical health journey.
Joy and pride in work
We need to ensure that as one of the largest employers in the region we, support, retain, and grow our workforce, striving to be the employer of choice where colleagues experience joy and pride in their work. Our colleagues are our most important asset.
Value for money
And whilst delivering high-quality care, and becoming the best place to work, we need to stay within our budget and provide the most efficient and effective care that we can, demonstrating value for money at all times.
