We have over 8,000 staff delivering healthcare across Southmead Hospital Bristol, Cossham Hospital, Bristol Centre for Enablement and within the local community of Bristol and South Gloucestershire.
Our vision is that by enabling our teams to be the best that they can be, we will provide exceptional healthcare, personally delivered.
The best health and care is not the work of an individual, a single team or even one organisation. Partnership and collaboration is fundamental.
“Exceptional healthcare” means our patients will recognise that we are exemplars of safe, harm-free care and that we give them the best possible health improvement. We will do this through outstanding Emergency Care, our centres of excellence for Specialist Services, our great Local Services and as a Powerhouse for Pathology and Imaging.
“Personally delivered” means patients are in charge of their own care and the decisions that need to be made for their health and wellbeing. A genuine partnership with patients and the public is at the heart of any changes we make and will ensure an outstanding patient and carer experience.
This vision is underpinned by the organisation’s values:
