In addition, innovation and excellence in clinical practice through the Professional Development Recognition Programme is supported and encouraged.

Our teams are passionate about nursing leadership; empowering and supporting nurses to work to their level of expertise and training, and to adapt to the changing models of care; the development of the nursing workforce so the nurses are equipped for not only today, but the challenges facing healthcare in the future; and we are committed to supporting the safest practice possible with a focus on patient safety.

Nurses in our region are ‘Always Caring’ with ‘Can Do’ attitudes, so that ‘In Partnership’ we are ‘Being Our Best’.
