The Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust is committed to delivering the highest quality and safest treatment and care to every patient, every time. Our staff came together and following a consultation, the Leeds Way Values were implemented. Our values:
Patient-centred – to act compassionately, with empathy and kindness towards those in our care.
Fair – Champion inclusivity by prioritising fairness and equality. To understand the perspective of others, respecting and embracing differences.
Collaborative – We are all one team with a common purpose and value the contribution of others. We work in partnership with our patients, families and carers, our colleagues and other providers.
Accountable – We keep our promises and agree clear expectations and will speak up to respectfully hold ourselves and each other to account.
Empowered – We empower our patient and colleagues to have a voice and make decisions, and are considerate of choices.
From this we created Living The Leeds Way, which is the golden thread that ties all of us working at Leeds Teaching Hospitals together.
