‘Patient-first’ experience
‘From the moment a patient walks
through the door everyone will go
the extra mile to ensure people feel
cared for, valued and special as we
recognise this is often a time of anxiety
and tension and we want to give each
and everyone the best experience we
can. Our culture is one of openness
and transparency where we live by
our values and recognise everyone
makes a valuable contribution to the
experience of our patients.’ Jane Abbott
– Hospital Director and Chief Nurse
